Trim tab wiring
#12
Sorry for the awkward photos, but I took them standing on my head.
I have five wires- red, green, yellow, white, and orange. Orange is the positive and I have no idea what the rest are. They all have multiple termination on the same circuit and I've no idea how they're supposed to go, all I know is the tabs all stuck at full down.

I'm really not sure why this is so complicated, seems like they should be simple circuits...

Well if they were working and then quit the wires didn't change themselves I would check the simple stuff like do you have power feeding the switches etc. before I started changing wires around.

Gotcha, I too have been victim of starting out with a simple (supposedly) task and running a muck and ending up with what I thought was a good idea gone wrong LOL. I agree $150 for a switch is crazy for sure, I wonder who makes the switch and if we couldn't find one cheaper ???

It started that the tabs would go up or down individually and only down for BOTH. Then that little 12V+ circuit between the BOTH and individual switches broke, so nothing would go up. I went in to repair the 12V+ and investigate why BOTH wouldn't go up.
The weird thing is that each of the 5 wires, save the 12V hot, has multiple terminals, 3 or 4. Like there are redundant relays or something.

It's a little tough to tell how it's wired from your pictures, but given that you didn't change wiring, it seems like its the switch that has failed. Did you try disconnecting the hot and the "up" wires from the both switch and touch them together to see if the solenoid moves? If you get a response, then you know its the switch itself..
