My trailer button isn't working on my 2007 bayliner 214 deck boat happend to me last year and I spayed contact cleaner in the bottom worked for a couple months then I had to keep spaying every month now it's not working at all trim down and up work but won't ingage into trailer mode when I push harder down on the button spayed more clean and nothing. What could it be a bad connection behind the bottom maybe had to be sanded and cleaned. Can't figure out how the control box comes apart either hope someone can help. Here is the control panel I have how can I take apart to see what's going on with the button.

Yea i know that. Doesn't work when I push it down harder to ingage trailer mode. Like I said it worked before with electrical contact spray now won't work at all so im guessing it's the button. Need to figure out how to take a part control arm to see what's going on or by pass to pull out the water. Only have my lake house till Sunday please help

Ayuh,..... My guess is the problem is at the pump, rather than the switch, but meter the switch, from the pump, to see if it's the switch, or corroded connections at the pump solenoids,......

Ok just tested it. It's showing the trailer button is bad how can I open this control arm to get the corrosion off from behind the button? Hoping I don't need to buy a whole new control arm can't find any diagrams on this unit

Inside the arm against the black housing are 2 screws I didn't undo them but that is where you should start it's a tight fit and you will need right angled screw drivers
