Check for a shorted trim limit sensor. check wiring into relays to confirm that your "up" control voltage is being delivered. Hot wire trim motor to confirm working motor. It should be one or the other.

Greeting RRitt, I was on my boat this morning and I realized I do not have voltage going in to the relay. motor works fine when i hot wired it. Where is the trim limit sensor located at?

It's a switch, located on the stern bracket, above the PT&T unit. If it sticks open the unit won't work.

Re: trim and tilt does not go up.

thank you guys, that was the problem. i jumped the switch by tracing the cables. i notice there were two connectors. i unplug them both and connect them straight to the relays. it works perfect. thanks again.
