ZT HAVE YOU BYPASSED YOUR RELAYS AND GONE STRAIGHT TO THE BATTERY YET? I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT YOU ARE, MY TRIM MOTOR WOULD ALSO WORK ONLY AFTER I TAPPED THE HOUSING, IT FINALLY GOT TO THE POINT THAT NOT EVEN THE TAPPING WAS WORKING. FINALLY I REMOVED THE MOTOR FROM THE UNIT AND NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE WIRES HAD BEEN PINCHED, WHEN I OPENED UP THE UNIT I NOTICED THAT THE BRUSHES AND SPRINGS WERE CORRODED, I HAVE A JOHNSON AND I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY JOHNSON DEALER THAT WOULD SELL ME THE BRUSHES, I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRUSHES FOR THE YAMAHA WOULD WORK BUT THEY COST $120.00, AND AN AFER MARKET MOTOR RUNS FOR ABOUT $160.00. I WENT WITH THE AFTER MARKET MOTOR.
