Default Bravo I Drive Won't Trim

Needs some help sorting out why my bravo drive won't lower on my velocity. The trailer button will raise it. Will not lower. Will bad trim limit switches cause this. Trim gage is giving accurate reading. Any one have a schematic handy or can me a clue to isolating this issue? Is there any way to hot wire past the trim limit switches?

Thanks!

What circuit breaker and where was yours located? I repalced a fuse on trim pump bracket with no joy. Fuse crumbled when I removed it. I replaced it and it did not solve my problem. Is there a relay could be bad? If so where? How do I test the relay. Since trailer switch works the pum must be getting power.Removed dash rocker switch. I can not hear any relay click when rocker makes down contact. Completing circuit by toucking rocker switch wires with jumper has no effect. Makes me believe rocker is Okay. And yes I have been testing ignition switch on.

If trim limit switch is bad won't drive still trim down anyway?

Any help would be appreciated.

I hard wired trim limit switch out of the circuit. Rocker switch in up tried to lift the drive, heard up solenoid click. Wasn't functioning since trim limit was overiding. Tapping down solenoid with switch powerd to down no success. Jumpered across green wire to positive got drive to lower. Quite conviced the solenoid is the culprit. At this point. Waiting for rain to stop to troubleshoot further. Will check continuity on rocker switch for down position. Know currently up circuit works. Only saw three wires connecting to Rocker. Two reds to center post and purple white wire to bottom. Should there be another wire connected to rocker may have came loose under side console. Can't read the schematic jpeg.
