I have a 2017 Z21. My problem is the big motor will randomly trim up on its own after I turn the power on at the console panel and crank the motor. Note works fine with the ignition switch in the accessory postition or console panel powered off. Also the nav lights turn on randomly.
If I crank the big motor first then power the console panel on it still does the same thing. Here is the fun part, he said sarcastically, it randomly does this during the day. It will happen hours into the day, stop, then happen again. Sometimes it goes days with no issues.
I need the power on the panel to keep the live wells running and operate the nav lights.
In my troubleshooting I have disconnected the bow panel and the blinker switch as that was simple. I have not disconnected the shifter trim switch yet. Why, not? Because, once again all works fine with the power off at the panel.
I am thinking about the trim relays or shorted wires on the trim circuit but If they were bad wouldn't it do the same thing with the console panel powered off? For grins I will swap relays to see if I can get it to to trim down when it happens.
My question are ... what circuit does that console power that could be shorting out the trim circuit? There are no trim buttons on that panel. What else should I focus on?
Thanks in advance.
