Default Help with trim promblem

I have a 2000 Jubilee with the dual prop Volvo outdirve. Had and issue with the trim, would not come up when I put on the trailer. The relays click when the switch is pressed either up or down. Test 12v to motor. Put 12 v direct to motor from battery and the motor works, was able to get the outdrive up this way. Is there a ground switch somewhere I am missing? Any ideas?
Help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

    Mine sticks at the beginning of the season or when I don't use it for a few weeks. I just hold it for a while and it eventually works.

    You dont want to burn out the motor or solenoids. Take an hour or so and clean the connections.
