Post Gator tail trim
I have the old style trim set up and it stopped working so I changed my relays out and still nothing. Any ideas?

Do the relays click? Do you have a volt meter? Need to make sure you have power, check fuses or breakers, or whatever in line protection is on the circuit.

Does it do anything, do you here anything coming from the motor, or does it just do nothing

Do you have volt meter? Check and see if you have power...

Dude, you got worse luck than I do with motors. :lol:

Like Clay said, get a volt meter or test light & see if you're getting power to the trim unit, relays, circuit breaker, switch, etc. Could very well just be a broken wire.

Are the connections on the back of the switch connected? Assuming its an older model trim on the front of the motor.

What years do you consider older models? What year did they change?
