I had to move the scarab sprint this weekend and I raised the trim all the way up. Moved it in the garage went to store it with the drive down. Hit the trim button down and click. click. click. everytime I hit the trim down it just clicks once. I trailer it back up and the pump works just not going down now. any help please, trying to sell it now and want to fix it. THANKS

If it works every time going up I would say most likely relay. Jump the connections on the relay and see if it goes down.

I'm not 100% sure which ones to hit together. Will I cause damage if I hit the hit the wrong ones.

You need to go to the solenoid with the green wires going to it.Jump with a screw driver from the large red wire terminal to the large green wire terminal.Drive should run down.If it does run down like this but only clicks when using the switch then the solenoid is bad.

Green wires like grass are down.
Blue wires like sky are up.
