QUESTION: A glastron 2001, 4.3, SX-M.

Answer
there should be a fuse in the positive wire... take a volt meter and make sure the circuit breaker did not go bad....you should have 12 volts on the red wire going to the switch...and voltage on the small blue wire when in up and green in down...If that is good then check the trim relays....
