Ksaunders Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Lost my electric trim switch and looking for one. Please advise if you have one or know where I can find a replacement. K. Saunders Email= ksaunder@prattindustries.com Quote
Cris Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 I'm assuming that by "lost" you mean the trim switch no longer works? I'd suggest you remove it from the yoke and clean it first. As you remove it check to be sure there are no loose/disconnected wires. There are two parts to the switch and both have to move simultaneously to activate the trim. Also the contacts get dirty so an electrical cleaner should be used. Search this forum for additional help as this has been discussed before. Quote
mulro767 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Before you zero in on that trim switch make sure your trim disconnect switch (red botton) isn't the culprit. Ditto on cleaning the trim switch but if that bed button is shorted you won't know if the trim switch works. I went through this a couple years ago. I thought I was looking at an $800 part. But instead a very good avionics guy in Griffin, GA charged me 1/2 hour to clean the contacts on that red button. It's worked great ever since. Good luck! Quote
Ksaunders Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Posted October 13, 2012 Excellent ideas and advice. Thank you all. I have taken previous aircraft to the shop in Griffin and know them. That will be my first stop. Quote
