Jumping the terminals DOES work - but I'm not sure what that tells me...

Could it be air in the system? I don't know how to bleed it.


Thanks all!
I had similar issue with my 88 OMC stern drive. Jumping the terminals means there is an electrical problem along the way, it could just be the trim switch itself (the one in your throttle), that was my issue, but maybe not yours, but when I had that situation I put it on an open switch on my panel and I got it raised and could use it that way untilt he switch I ordered came in, and then I just put the wiring back. If there is a break in the main power line via a swithc or solinoid in any direction it will only work by bypassing the break.

try taking out the switch itself and wiring it to a open switch on the panel if you have one. Let me know if it works? Mayeb I was just lucky
