2004 Volvo penta out drive will not work

[JASONH44]

It worked perfect when it was put up for the winter, but tried to take it out today and the out drive would not work. I listened to the pump, but no sound at all when the switch was moved. All fuses looked good, and the engine would start. Any ideas?

I am assuming you mean the trim pump? You could pull the wires from the trim pump, and jumper them to the battery. Then you would know if you have a bad pump. If the pump is okay, then start checking the switch for power, and both trim relays. Do you have a remote trim switch at the swim deck? check it all and let us know what you find. Dave-R

That happens to my SX once in a while. I've found that the connectors near the pump get corroded and need to be cleaned once in a while. Take the relays out and see if the connectors are clean, and do the same with the connections that go to the pump. Sometimes just removal/reinstall will clean enough of the corrosion to get it going. It would have been a good idea for Volvo to use weatherpack connectors there, but they didn't.
