I have an older model CMC power tilt and trim unit. It is run off of two 5 pin relays. When I trigger the relays from a jumper off of the battery (12.71 volts) they trip properly. When I try to trigger them off of the switch wire (12.40) volts they will not trip. Only thing I can think of is even though I'm getting 12.40 volts I'm losing amperage in the switch wiring and don't have enough power to trip the relay. Switch tested ok, I also jumped the switch and no success. I will clean up all connections and try again. Any other thoughts??
