Problems w Tilt trim switch

[BS0136]

Hey guys....I'm new here with a 2001 Hurricane 217 Sun Dec that has a 5.0 Mercruiser l/O. I was having some problems with my tilt/trim so I decided to replace the throttle switch. This solved some of my problem but my down tilt would still click a few times before engaging and going down. So I then decided to replace the solenoids. Once I did and hooked everything back up I get NOTHING when I hit the switch...up or down?! I used a jumper to bypass the solenoids (like the manual says) and the pump motor works fine. I've checked and rechecked my connections and everything looks correct. I have even replaced the fuse. Is there anything that could need checking?! Is it possible for the plug in from the switch controls to the solenoids to go bad!?!?

recheck your solenoid wiring , may have left off the ground wire

I did some solenoid work and got nothing when rewired. Duh. I forgot to reconnect the battery feed to the solenoid circuit breaker.

Still nothing?! I've even checked and cleaned the contacts on the trim limit switch just to see if that would help. I've put the old solenoids back in just to see if maybe the new ones I got were defective but still nothing?! When I use jumpers to test the individual solenoids they do click though....just not when using the actual switch.
