Throttle trim switch did work, now doesn't

[cheapirish]

This is on a 2000 Sea Ray Sundancer, Mercruiser 5.0L EFI Bravo III

Had a problem with the down solenoid, which I replaced. Now the trim runs up and down fine from the swim platform, but not from the throttle trim.

It previously did from the throttle trim (ran up and I could hear the down solenoid click). After solenoid replacement, it didn't.

Where should I start looking for the problem, and why would it work before but not now?

Thanks in advance.

Ayuh,... 1st place to look is where you were workin' on it.... Maybe a broken or miss placed wire...

2nd place to look is the wires from the Trim Limit Switch to the transom,... They tend to Rot there....

Is there a specific wire that will run from the throttle trim switch to the pump/solenoid? They all seemed to be bundled together leading in there.

Ayuh,... But I doubt that's where the Problem is.... There's diagrams in the Adults Only section of this forum...

It's either around Where you were Working,..
Or,..
Between the Limit Switch, on the Outdrive, to the Inside of the Transom...
