Default Hitec Flash 5 throttle trim not working.

At first my throttle was not working ,but the throttle trim was working. I fixed the throttle by cleaning the pot with electronic cleaner and it worked. Now the throttle trim is not working-no beep when pushing on the throttle trim-Flash 5 has electronic throttle. Did not see any broken wires. Sprayed trim lever contacts with
electronics cleaner ,but it still does not work.

Thanks

Double check that board is clean, no threads left, and all wires are secure with no cold solder or corroded joints.
Reassemble making sure rocker is making correct contact.

Got the throttle trim working. Adjusted the throttle pot shaft and got more servo movement at the low end of the throttle. This allowed the throttle trim to work at the lower end of the throttle .

Alan T-thanks for your help. You web site is a real help for all kinds of repairs.
