hey james, I have the same pwc. I replaced the vts motor last year. Odd situation I have is that the VTS moves up and down with no issues when the machine is NOT running, but when running it will not move. Any ideas on why this would occur?
The main electronic module may be bad or be missing an input. I would start by looking for +12v to the vts module when the engine is running. As this +12v lead also powers the gauges it could be as simple as verifying that when the vts motor works the gauges do as well and vice versa. You could also refer to the video and check for +12v on the purple lead to the connector for the vts switch. With the kill switch out, bump the start button and you should get +12v to the vts module and gauges for 10 seconds. with the kill switch in and engine running you should get +12v to vts module and gauges all the time. If the latter is not true, I would check all connectors to the electrical box to make sure one going back to the engine has not broken or come loose. If all external connections look good, I would open the box and check all the internal connections. If they also look good, I would suspect the main electronic board. If the vts module is getting +12v while the engine is running, then I would suspect the vts module itself. Good Luck J
