The power trim in my motor does not seem to work. Last year after winter it was a bit groggy but it eventually loosened up and worked. After this winter, with a new battery I can hear both solenoids clicking, but the motor will not move. Any input in where to start troubleshooting?

That motor should have a 2 wire PTT motor. So, disconnect both wires at the relays and jumper +12VDC onto the blue wire and ground the green wire. The motor (if good) will spin and the motor will trim up. If it doesn't spin, it is likely bad. You will need to remove one side of the transom bracket to get the PTT system off.
