Installed a Johnson trim gauge last season, there never was in boat . Very strange to figure this out, no matter how I adjusted the trim at the motor , (needle on gauge ) would be in the UP position.Should I just remove the gauge and put the black cap that was there before in the opening?

Sounds like the wire from the sensor is shorted out.

It runs from the trim sensor up to the dash. I'm not sure at this moment, but I believe mine is black.

Seems to be working "better" after adjusting the screws a bit .
