The ones on the side of the motor, the signal light one and the one on the front of the boat all work. Just not the one for located on gear selection(forward/neutral/reverse). It is a 2003 521vx with a Yamaha 250 vmax. Any ideas? Thanks, MG

Check the connections to the trim switch in the gear shifter look for corrosion, broken wires, etc. If all the others work, either the switch is bad, or the wiring is..if it won't go up or down, is likely the common wire (one w/ 12V on it)

I've been there. You can take apart, clean contacts to make it work for a while. But, will eventually have to buy new. Switch will come attached to harness that will go underneath console to hook up. I have a 2002 200hp HPDI that did same as yours several years ago. Was told Yamaha had lots of problems with those in those year ranges. I replaced mine years ago and has been perfect ever since.
