Brief Description:  Final wiring of the trim system

# wires from each trim position indicator were married up to the wires from the trim servos via dsub pins earlier installed. I secured them together with 2 overlapping sizes of shrink tube and then gathered them together neatly and zip tied into a neat bundle (not shown)

I then cut the previously pinned wires as I needed to change things.
Each indicator has a power wire a ground wire and a dimmer wire. I Cut these and spliced eac with a butt splice connector and then added a length of 22 awg wire to them to run to the 1 amp cb, to ground post, and to the panel light post using ring connectors.

labeled accordingly

I also made a wire for power from the instruments post to the cb

another wire from the cb to the trim post that provides 1amp circuit protected power to the relay.

This 1amp cb has two wire leads to power the indicators and the relay comming off the same lug. the other lug is the power from the instruments v power post.
The lead for dimming is to the panel light post that only gets power when navigation lights are turned on. This action causes the indicators to go to half brightness-the only dim function for them.
