I cannot find a solenoid box for my tilt and trim. Anyone know where it should be located?

I don't think you're going to find one.

That's about the year that OMC moved all the electricals into the tilt/trim housing itself.

Try this maybe it will help http://www.boats.net/parts/search/BRP/JOHNSON/1979/140TXL79R/POWER TILT AND TRIM/parts.html
103 116 125 seems like you do have a box with a old school ford solenoid. Don't know where it is though....

Okay thanks guys. I think either it’s been removed or something. The wiring from the t t motor have connections on the ends like they go on a solenoid or contactor of some kind.

The Tilt/Trim solenoid system for that year motor was located in the back of the boat.
