Elec. testing. Anyone done this?

[RedlineR6]

Just out in the shop trying to figure out my trim malfunction.

Power to the bilge and trim system is delivered from the LR module while running.

I'm positive my method on mind of testing will work just fine, but anyone done this...

Unhook the LR module wire (orange) from the circuit board. Take a jumper lead from Red/purple to the circuit board to power it (as simulating the engine is running)

I'm pretty sure it shouldnt cause me any problems.?

OK, so I was wrong.....Popped my 1/4amp doin it

I was in just too big of hurry! Once I looked it over again and re-thought the wiring I figured it out.

Switch is working....
Leads to trim motor working as well as motor....
Switch to board is working....

At this point, I unhooked my Grn/White and Blu/W that go to the MFD. Unhooked my Switch ground and switch power (orange)

Powered those leads and switch and all works as supposed to.

I either I had a wiring harness connection problem, or my LR module is going south.

If anyone ever needs help doing these tests.....gimme a shout.

Now for the real fun of finding the AGC 1/4 amp tomorrow

Radio Shack, I've been told.

Yeah, Just checked a small Radio Shack on my way home from work today. The lowest they went was 1/2 So I'm gonna stop at a bigger one tomorrow and stock up on them if they got them. It seems that everytime I've needed one of these fuses I'm in a rush
