Motor trims down fine, but won't trim up. Can hear the 'up' relay click in when the motor or helm switches are operated, but the trim/tilt motor doesn't run (with either the helm or the motor mounted switches). Tried swapping the 'up' relay with another, but no difference. I suspect a wiring problem, but haven't checked it out yet.<br /><br />Motor had been fine a few weeks ago, prior to changing the lower voltage regulator to the new style.<br /><br />Any suggestions?

Does anyone know which lead from the 'up' relay is energized with the trim sw activated 'up'? Looks like the "blu" one to me.

Blue (sky) is up. Green (grass) is down.

Replace the relays, the relays earth back through each other so if one relay is faulty then it can affect the operation of the other relay. a test is to tap the relays with a pen while someone operates the switch, the relay will often then start operating.
