KFC200 will not engage.
*Prior to this, when I would hold CWS and use the electric trim, it would disconnect the AP. This used to not happen and I would often manually hold CWS and trim the plane when needing to level off after an aggressive change in altitude or a steep turn. Before the AP failed to engage at all, CWS continued to work as expected, I just couldn’t use the electric trim without it disconnecting the AP.
*Now as soon as I flip the switch it immediately disconnects with a beeeeep.
*Moving either side of the yoke mounted split trim switch independently doesn’t move the trim, so neither side appears stuck. It appears that the left side of the split switch just needs to be moved up or down and the right section of the split switch controls the direction. Split switch appears to work correctly with neither side appearing stuck.
*If I hold the red yoke mounted disconnect button I can engage the flight director while the button is held down. Attempting to engage the autopilot doesn’t work, but also doesn’t beeeeeeep. Pressing the red button with the FD enabled will disable the FD and all other FD connected annunciators. Red button appears to work correctly.
Any thoughts? It behaves like I’m using the electric trim without pressing CWS, but CWS and the electric trim switch both appear to be working unless there’s a second channel or logic somewhere.
