I have a 21ft CC with Lenco trim tabs that stopped working about 2 weeks ago. The lights on the switch do not light up anymore. Reading online said to check the fuse, it is okay and checked all connectors I could find. All seemed okay.

Is it likely the control switch that is not working?

Part for it is 15170-001 and it is a single.

If I have to replace it, do I need to use the same one or can I upgrade to the Pro Control Auth Keypad?

No , it is not likely the control switch . You should have a test light or at least a cheap voltage meter in your boat tool kit . Check grounds and power going to the switch . No power at switch , backtrack the probably red , maybe orange wire . If you have power at switch, have someone operate the control while you check power being delivered to the trim tabs . Having said the indicator light is not on at the dashboard indicates no power is getting to the switch/ light .

I checked voltage at the terminals that go to the switch. Sounds like I need to take that back cover off and test further. There is red, while, black, orange as well as a grey bundle of wires.

I did have someone test with me to see if the lights were just off and no movement happened.
