Post HELP MERCURY TRIM
It on a 2015 HD MUD BUDDY only has 8 hours on it . Worked good and then nothing . When u push the trim button you can hear a clicking from around the stater . I know it could be the switch or the fuse . Is there anything else I can check.

There are two trim relays located on the #1 cylinder side ( oil fill ) attached to frame. There are also two circuit breakers under wire cover. Are you able to trim up or down? Or is this happening during both directions?

The relays are independent from each other, one for up one for down. They shouldn't both go bad unless something else is wrong like wiring, trim motor. You can try and use a jumper wire and bypass circuit breaker, or take leads directly from trim motor and hook to battery. Swapping polarity will change motor direction. Do you have a dealer close, or mechanically inclined.
