Yes you can.
Does the relay make any noise when hitting the down button?

Yes I believe that is the T&T relay

So if it clicks then the switch is working, but relay is not making contact with either the + or the -.

A volt meter would come in handy for troubleshooting

Replace both and save yourself further trouble

A quick followup: I switched the green and blue wires and the "Up" switch now caused the T&T to lower the engine. Hopefully I can assume that the down relay is defective. I did notice that when the engine started to go down that made some sputtering or bubbling noise. Is this some air in the line, and how do I fix it?

Trim it all the way up and open the fill screw. Add fluid if needed
