I put a new motor and relays in about a month ago tonight after fishing for a few hours mt starting battery died jumped her from the trolling motor and it started took off but then the trim would not work at all no sound no nothing is there a fuse I can check or what it's on a 1991 Fastrike GLEIS model help
1990 374V Ranger Still kickin' bass after all these years
Only fuse is the main fuse in the red holder next to the starter. If the motor turned over it isn't the fuse.
fuse is good only getting a click out of the relays now put in a new battery the other wasn't taking a charge what do I do now don't have any meters to check anything with ,everything else in the boat works depthfinders ,aerators ,bilge pumps ,lights gauges motor just the trim up or down

Two separate power leads Al, the boat has its own and the motor has another. Go to an Ace/True value/ radio shack and pick up a cheap digital volt meter. You can get one for your needs for less than $20.00. Check the wiring harness back to the motor maybe a bad connection at the plug. Or still a bad switch.
Double check everything you did to replace the motor.
Recheck the connection for the trim motor to the relay boxes. Corrosion is very common there. If OK, then use jumper wires to put 12 volts to the trim motor wires to see if the motor works. If so, then the problem is in the trim circuit wiring or switches.
