I've got a problem with the trim on my boat.

If I move the switch up or down, I can hear the relay switches click (I
believe that they are relay switches) but the motor does not move up or
down.

In the throttle, I have a green wire, blue wire, and a red wire. I

tracked
that down to a box on the boat. The blue and green wire connect into
separate relay switches, with the same color wire going back out and to

the
trim motor. The red wire connects to a panel in the box.

My experiments to try to correct the problem:

If I place the main wires to the trim motor onto the battery, it makes

the
motor trim work, green + blue - makes the motor go down, blue + green -
makes the motor go up.

With it all hooked back up.... if I connect the red wire from the trim
switch to the negative on the battery.... and then connect a wire from

the
negative to a bare spot on the green wire AND another wire from the

negative
to a bare spot on the blue wire.... the trim switch makes the motor move

up
and down just like it is supposed to.... BUT the wires got HOT HOT HOT

and
some of the insulation burned.... spark etc.... so I stopped, decided

that
I
really should see of someone would offer a suggestion.

Again, if it is all hooked up properly (So I believe) I just hear the

relay
switches click but no movement on the motor. I REALLY would appreciate

some
assistance!
