I have posted before about this problem and thought I had it narrowed down to the solenoid. When I connect the blue and or green to power I get it to go up and down no problem. The solenoid clicks when I try to ingage it with the switch. Replaced switch still same so I figured it was the solenoid. Today I received the new one and when I put it in I get no click nothing. I checked the power going in to the solenoid and it is there I checked the powed to the switch it is there. I put the old solenoid in and I get a click but of course no movement from the trim. Could they have sent me a bad solenoid ? Or the wrog one ? it looks exactly like the old one. It has two small terminal labeled i and s top one i connected to the blue wire. Bottom one labeled s has two wires connected to it I think one might be the ground not sure. This is making me crazy....Please help me figure this out.

Re: trim still having problems

Sounds like you have an automotive solenoid but maybe this will work. Put the blue wire from the tilt mtr on to one large terminal on the solenoid. Put a wire from the battery on to the other large terminal of the solenoid. Then take the blue wire coming from the t/t switch and install on the small "S" terminal. Any ground wires run to the base of the solenoid. Leave the small "I" terminal blank. Post back what happens
