[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 136680, member: 1776"] I was able to check my tilt motor without removing the motor. If you have a multimeter, you should be able to test the motor. Might have to google how. One thing I test is continuity, generally a working motor will a connection all the way through it on the wires (just find the common ground). My multimeter has a beeper on on a setting - so it beeps when there is a connection. If nothing else, just find the wires and touch them off to a working battery. The motor should be 12 volts and it should move the motor. If it doesn't move, then it might just be the motor is bad. But I doubt that would happen - seriously, how often do you use the tilt/trim. I guess it could corrode though. Good luck, sometimes it just takes digging in to find the problem. :? [/QUOTE]
