What happens to the trim aid switch when the trim interrupt button is pressed?

• A. Power to the system is interrupted and the electromagnetic switch automatically moves to the OFF position
• B. It will reset after running a self-test
• C. It remains in the TRIM AID position until it is reset
• D. Nothing

Answer: (A)

Pressing the trim interrupt button cuts the electrical power to the trim system. The trim aid switch is an electromagnetic device that automatically snaps to the OFF position when power is interrupted, immediately disabling the trim function so no further trim movement can occur until the system is reset and re-energized. This safety feature prevents unintended or runaway trim.
