    Trim issue related to power distribution panel 2000 175 Ficht

    My trim stopped working and I have found the problem. Where the trim/tilt wire connects into the power dist panel one of the two metal prongs is slightly loose. If I apply downward pressure to the connector it works just fine. I guess I'm wanting to know if the metal prongs can be fixed without having to get the whole new panel? Or if anyone has a used panel as well. I've already posted this on the motor parts forum.

    Thanks guys

    I had the same problem with my 98'. take the connector off, then take a straight screwdriver and knok the terminals back with a swift erasy blow .

    If needed, DFI Technologies can rebuild the PDP for you.

    Their website is down, but do a search here for the phone number.

    ISSUE RESOLVED!!! WISE 1 is an asset to this board. A sharp but firm tap re-seated the connector and it works like new. Thank you WISE 1 and I owe you some cold beverages. If you are ever near the Quincy, IL area contact me and I'll pay up. Thanks
