trim gage not working

the trim gage started to jump around all over the place. then it would read like it was fine for a bit and then it finely went all the up. checked the back of the gage and took the sensors off the out drive cleaned them and it sill does not work. what else can i do?

Could be sender on the outdrive go bad. That is what happened on mine......wires got pinched and wore through during tilt/trim operation, gauge would not read anything. The whole sending unit had to be replaced.
