Tilt/trim

[dug050]

I have a 1999 50hp 4stroke engine. The power tilt works fine and raises the engine but when I press the down button I hear the solenoid click but the pump does not run. I get the same results from the switch on the engine and the one on the throttle control,I can lower it with the manual release screw.
I'm not familiar with this system, do the solenoids activate a control valve that directs fluid in the "up or down" direction? If so, since the solenoid is clicking, could the valve be sticking ?
Any help greatly appreciated.

I am having the same trouble. My engine will go down but will not go up. I can hear the relay switch clicking but my trim motor will not engage. I bought a new relay switch and installed it and now both relays are clicking so I don't have up or down. I wish there was a wiring diagram on these 2 relays because I fear I have something wired wrong. I do get a click on both up and down switches. its very frustrating! could someone please give some insight?

Have one relay bad but best to replace both, as it takes both both to trim to either direction. They are not that expensive.
