    Trim and Tilt Relays click but do not operate the motor

    relays are switch controlled with low amperage and 12v but to drive the motor the relays must transfer 12v high current power to the T&T motor. your motor is proven good so the relays are not feeding it power or said power is being interrupted along the way to the motor make...
