Motor goes up but doesn't try to trim down at all. The down switch isn't working at the bow ,throttle, or the transom. Any ideas?

Yep. Mine was a relay and would only go up, switched them around and would only go down.

I'm going to replace the relay and the wiring. When I move the wiring around it will work in spurts.

sounds like just a bad connection or broken wire....relay should be good.

Make sure the switch has continuity when operated in both directions.
