Default trim and trailer switch and the trim switch on dashnot working

If it isn't one thing it's another! trim/trailer/and dash switch will not work when trying to raise the OD up. Pulled the switch on the handle and there is power there, rocking the switch up you get nothing and you jump power to the blue wire it does nothing.any suggestions?I mean there isn't even a click coming from the solenoid, but i can get it to work by jumping power on the solenoid it self.

Keep checking wiring. Might be in trim limit switch wiring. Wiring issues are fun!! Solenoid a or trim limit switches or wiring. Check continuity from switches back to solenoids to verify good wires back to solenoids.

ok... I want to bypass the trim limit anyways. I have never paid any attention to it. I've always driven by sound and feel, but I'm not sure how to bypass it.

To bypass simply unhook bullet connectors and hook two wires together on solenoid side. If it is bad I recommend replacement just to keep stuff working right. Also be careful not to overtrim if bypassed.
