Omc Cobra 5.8L trim motor????

While on the water yesterday I noticed that my trim gauge was not moving while pushing the switch. I stopped driving and went to see what the problem was. The trim motor will not moving at all. I can hear the solinoid clicking when the trim button is pushed both up and down. I used a test light to see if power was coming to the solinoid when the button up/down button was pushed, it showed power on both when they were engaged. I then pulled the motor from the pump took it apart and clean the brushes and the com. put it back together and still nothing. Do I need to just buy a new motor? If so does anybody know what the part number is? Thanks

Did you clean all the connections at the solenoids? Also there is 2 50 amp fuses in a rubber boot behind the solenoids.If the fuse is blown it will still click.

Thanks for the input!! It saved me a couple hundred bones! I cleaned all of the terminals and connectors on the solenoid and pulled all of the connectors loose and reconnected them. I then hooked the battery back up and everything worked just fine again.
