Bennett Trim Tabs will not lower
#3
This is a long story and I still need some help. There was no power at the blue wire so that eliminated the motor issue. There was also no power to the blue wire at either switch terminal when the switch was depressed. Both switches were getting power, plus the motor would run and on bow up and the solenoids were clicking when the switch was depressed either way. It was hard to believe both switches failed at the same time, so I pulled the wires off one switch and flipped it upside down. There was still no power to the blue wire at the switch when depressed so that seemed to eliminate the switch. I ran out of time and ideas. We left port and hit rough seas and after getting tired of being pounded I tried the tabs and they worked! They have been working everyday since. There must be or have been a poor connection at the switch. To check power, I only had a test light-not a volt meter-could that have been giving me a false diagnosis? I am worried this may become another intermittent issue and would like to resolve it.

One thing I missed.  When the switch was pulled and I jumped power to the blue wire at the switch, the motor ran, so there was not an issue with the wire between the switch and the pump.
