Tilt/trim solenoids both click, but trim motor does not run. Wires do not get hot. I don't know how it is supposed to work exacly, but the green and blue wires both go to 12V + with either up or down trim and both solenoids trip.

How do I test run motor? (It has green , blue, and black wire from motor).

Motor and trim unit are old, but visually look new. All wiring connections to the trim motor are tight and look new-- no corrosion.

Suggestions ? Thanks!

I had the same issue. Remove the powertrim motor disassemble it and clean/free up the brushes. Be careful when reassembling as to not damage them.

Thanks for sharing the experience. Did you have to remove the side engine mounting bracket to get to trim motor bolts?
