Why is my power trim not working?
If the motor operates, then the problem is a lack of power to the motor (faulty solenoid or relay, bad connections, etc.). Failed solenoids, relays and corrosion (at connections, relay sockets, quick-disconnect plugs, etc.) are some of the most common problems associated with tilt and trim system failure.
How do you test a power trim motor?

How do you test a power trim solenoid?
To test the motor itself, bypassing the relays and relay wiring, find the two heavy gauge wires that lead to the trim/tilt pump motor. One should be green and the other blue. You will probably be able to find a quick disconnect plug near where the wires exit the outboard engine cover that you can disconnect.
Why does my outboard motor trim up on its own?
Could happen on any of the trim switches, but the front is the most common. Moisture is usually the biggest problem to cause this. The “up” circuit on a switch is controlled by the bottom and middle contacts in a switch and moisture can short these two.

Motor Shutting Off: After about 4-5 years of usage, some Evinrude E-TEC 90s seem to shut off while trolling. No alarm goes off while this happens. The EMM shows nothing either. This is a random problem that occurs quite frequently. For any engines, if the basics are not okay, it will be damaged.
Are there any problems with power trims?
We do not see alot of problems with them. What mostly causes a slow leak down is the manual relief valve and a trick you can try is to loosen the screw and with it that way cycle the power trim up and down a few times-the leg will not raise but it could have a bit of debris in the system and this could help it dislodge.
