Safety trim wiring in parallel

[Danzer1]

Josh, What model trim contoller do you have? Sounds like you might have a dual axis controller and harness for single axis use. Should have 10 wires for single axis and 14 for dual axis - none doubled up.

On current single axis models - #3 (yellow) should go to red (+) on the servo and #4 (also yellow) should go to black (-) on the servo.

It is single axis model ST-1-12v-2sp-HD

Here are pictures of my install instructions from TCW and kiyfox. Note pins 4,12 3,11 7,15 1,9

I just noticed that there is s note that says these parallel connections are for servos rated for more than 5 Amps. So why is the Servo itself a 22awg wire?

I don’t know why my pictures are posting so small. Hope you can still see

Your servo is likely rated for way less than 5 amps, hence 22 ga wire. If so this is the wiring diagram currently being used:

Hold on - check with TCW 1st - sounds like the HD may stand for heavy duty which would be for a much more robust servo.

I'd ask if you can pin per the current diagram or "un-pin" the duplicates from your current harness. Assuming you have a servo of less than 5 amps draw (most are less than 1 amp for this application).

According to this thread Eddie talked to John M and John said it was 7A.

So what’s the best way to wire the two parallel to the trim motor? Shorten up the 22awg wires coming off the motor as short as possible?

[Danzer1]

I don't think that is correct. 7 amps at 12 volts would require a much larger wire size than 22 ga. for any distance. Maybe .7 amps? What is the brand and model # of the servo?
