Default Trim gauge help.

My trim gauge pegs all the way up where you can't see it when the ign. is on. When you turn ign. off it sweeps down to the low end. All the wires appear to be hooked up. Any ideas?

If your trim gauge goes all the way up, I think you either have a short (to ground) or its not hooked up right.

Did it work before, did you change anything?

Maybe the sending unit on the drive is bad ?
