Check the trim pump silinoid.  You can jump the silinoid and the pump should go on.

3.95 Cent relay... ;D  Pull the relay cover, and yank one out. Switch them and see if she goes down..  You should have one for each up and down.

 You'll even find them at the auto parts store..

Been there done that.. :-[

check and make sure you have enough fluid.  If I recall correctly, you can use any transmission fluid for it.

Hotrod,
Check your earlier post again.  You did mention about the auto parts store.  Hmmmm, a little early on the coronas perhaps,  hehe. ;D  J/K.

You actually did mention the auto parts store but I figured mercury parts for a mercury motor shes eleven years old and the power trim motor and now relay is the only thing Ive had to fix other than normal maintenance(knock on wood)creature of habit

Ah.  yea  . I did..lol  They all buy from the same manufacture.. and just label them accordingly..

I spent the 14$ also, my shop told me about them being all the same..  but it was well worth the 30$
