Went to trim down today & it wouldn't from helm or the engine trim switch either one. It will however trim up from either. Can feel relay clicking when using the down position & don't feel anything when trimming up. I'm assuming this realy is for the down position only.It does have 2 relays & I assume one is up & the other(lower one) is down. How can I check this ??? It had worked perfectly as usual until I went to trim it down. I had to use the manual release to put the motor toter on. Any suggestions ???

swap the relays in the box, if it only goes down you have a bad relay. also could have a dirty connection in the wiring.

OK, thanks. I'll try it. I can see the numbers & amperage on the lower one(the one thats clicking), but can't see it on the upper one. Will they be the same & are they OMC specific or can I pick them up at an auto parts store ??? Thanks

Lucked out. It was a wire on the back of block that holds the relays. Thanks just the same. It's nice to get help when needed.
