turns out the switch(s) are bad and I have removed both. I am unable to order the same type, joy stick or 4 button. So I have ordered a rocker switch.... So here's my question, as the switch is different will this be a big deal converting from old to new. I have two tabs on the stern. Five wires, one for ground and the other 4 are split off to each trim tab. Two for starboard and two for port, up and down,,, can't be that simple.

so you have lenco tabs... are you SURE the switches are the prob.... the electric actuators on the lenco systems were problematic and prone to fail

BTW you are a lake/river boater right? look up nauticus smart tabs (http://www.nauticusinc.com)

They make a conversion that uses your planes and hinges and just adds the automatic actuator... these work AWESOME....

I tested the tabs by bypassing the switch and all seemed to work. The joy stick seems to only go one way and the 4 button switch was burnt, some wires had fused. I'll check out the web site now... thanks

swapped out the switch and all works...next test is a water test...
