Aileron Position Indicator Stuck

[PhilzSkyHdx]

Trim Motors: Ray-Allen
Trim Panel: None
Problem: Aileron Trim Position stuck to full right (if I remember correctly)

I recall looking at the Sensor Debug info (C37, p.10 perhaps) for the Aileron Trim and its at 5.0V.
I moved the trim Left and Right (functional) but the voltage stays at 5.0V. Does that indicate an open
circuit at the Trim motor sense pin? (iow, is it pulled up to 5V when it floats?).

My plan is to measure the voltage for the position sensor at the Trim motor. Which pin no. of the 15 pin connector
on the trim motor is the sense signal? If the wire colors are like Dynon says, It should be easy to spot.

from Skyview: Trim and Flaps Position Potentiometers
"Connect Pin 18 (+5 Volts Auxiliary) from the SV-EMS-220/221 to the +5 Volts input on your trim/flap position sensor
(Dynon says WHT/Orange wire). Connect the ground input on the sensor to a ground common to the SV-EMS-220/221’s signal ground." It says SIGNAL is WHT/GRN, so maybe I answered my own question.

thanks for any guidance on this

I had this exact thing on a customers RV-6 a while ago.
Trim indicator stuck full one way, but trim operation was fine.
It was a broken wire at the trim actuator, one of the position sense wires.
It was broken where the builder had put a plastic connector in to enable removal, behind the wingtip.

thanks GKC. I'll check the wiring at the trim motor. I hope mine's that easy.
