Tilt trim issues again after new solenoid.

[Billwi]

Hello Everyone:

I replaced the tilt solenoid with a new one and it worked to go down, when I went to put it up nothing. I moved the throttle all the way forward and then tried and it went up. I put the throttle back to neutral and it worked both up and down. I then left the boat for about 20 minutes came back and nothing. No up or down. The solenoid clicked once when I pressed the button for tilt up. Then nothing again no clicking up or down. I checked for fuses and made sure everything was connected fine and connections were clean. Battery is fully charged and all connections are attached to the correct spots.
Anybody have any insight??? I am very confused.

Thanks
BillWI

Ayuh,... Sounds like a broken wire or bad switch in the controller...

I have seen similar problems. Access the swithes in your throttle handle and check for intermittent connections. You can test them using a jumper wire to route around the switch.
