Well, I cannot get the OD to move up or down. The tabs won't work either and nor does the trailor up switch. I don't get any clicking sound on any of these so I thought it wasn't getting current. I took a jumper from the battery to the solenoid on the Oildyne pump (where the red cable from the battery goes). Nothing there either. Batteries are charged up and all connections are clean. Does anybody have a suggestion? Thank you, Bob

You don't mention what type outdrive you have, but here is the troubleshooting section of the Alpha manual for checking your trim and tilt system. It also includes the wiring diagram.

Might want to post your trim tab pump problem over in the electrical forum, we don't do those here in the IO forums.
