Positive battery terminal to blue should make motor trim up. Positive to green should make motor trim down. You might open up the motor and see if you can determine why motor does't run. Maybe the wire broke and you can repair it.

Is there a replacement motor for your PTT that has only 2 wires? If so, you will need to set it up with two relays to replace the solenoids.
