I have a 1996 Johnson J40TLEDS. It is a new rig for me. We tested the boat and the trim switch worked fine. The next outing it still worked. Now it doesn't work. The switch on the engine works. I took the wires a part and crossed them between the control box and the motor with no response. I understand that there are two relays. Could one be shot? Could I switch them out to test this? Are these the small square components on the starboard aft side of the engine? Other ideas?

If the switch on the mtr works your relays are okay. Sounds like you have a wiring prob or a bad switch.
