I have had problems with the tilt/trim for the last year and I'm at a loss. I had replaced the relays two years ago when the problem initially started, and all was well for one year. This year, I can get it to go up, and if I switch the relays, it will go down. If I switch the "bad" non functioning relay, there is no change (I kept the other two relays). On occasion while out on the water, or at the landing it will go both up and down but when you go to try it again, it won't work. I'm assuming they there is a short somewhere, but I haven't been able to locate it. But then again, I hear the relay "clicking", but the motor doesn't move, so maybe it's not a short? Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks for the help!

Good luck.

I replaced mine this spring. It was not cheap.
Shops did not really want to try to repair it for me. They said it was not worth it.

Replace both relays with known good and see if it works. Just cause a relays clicks does not mean it is working. The 2 relays work in conjunction with each other and both need to be working properly. If you are having multiple relay failures then you can start looking for ground or low voltage issues.
