Default kplane trim tab indicator question

On my Scarab III trim tab starboard is working but indicator appears to bottomed out. Cable appears fine not sure if there is a sending unit that's failed or a ground that's not connected. Anybody experience that problem?

No sending unit. Cable all the way from tab to indicator. My guess would be to check the backside of the indicator for a disconnected cable or something.

Just be careful on the helm end...The indicator portion is on a spring and it'll shoot the little white nubby piece out.

That's of course if they're like mine, which are the black and white Keikhafer ones.
