f90tlr trim clicking

last year i purchased a 2009 Echelon pontoon that came with a 115 yamaha 4 stroke outboard. Over the weekend the tim just stopped working while going across water. made it back to the dock and started inspecting. First of all i'm confused about the actual engine. the stamp/stick shows f90tlr however the engine cover itself has 115. Is it possible that someone swapped the covers and i actually only have a 90hp engine instead of 115 or is this normal of this engine to have the 115 sticker ?

Now to the bigger issue. when i try to use the trim at the helm or trim button on the engine itself, all i get is a clicking sound. possible bad relay i guess ? If so can someone let me know what relay i need to purchase / replace ? I've searched but can't the exact part number. mostly because i'm confused on the engine. F90TLR is what is on the sticker on the engine. I will add that i unscrewed the "manual lift" screw so i could lift the unit up and no fluid came out. i then tightened it back down to lock my trim in place for the day. is that normal to have no fluid come out ? i can add pictures if needed. thanks for any help.

One of teh most likely causes would be a bad cable end in the cabling to the relays and/or the tilt motor. Another possibility would be water in the tilt motor. If you unplug the tilt motor at the relay you can try applying power there or use a meter to check that it is making a circuit.

Thank you, i'll give this a shot. Can you let me know which relay goes to the motor from this image ?

Sorry I can't tell from that diagram. Just operate the trim switch and see which relay is clicking. That will be the one and you should be able to quite easily trace the wires down towards the trim motor.
