My trim switch on my 2006 tritoon is being temperamental and I want to replace it. I pulled the throttle/shifter apart at the beach Sunday (not offshore controls), and unplugged the plug for the switch about 14” Downstream of the thumb switch. No numbers on switch/harness/throttle handle. Mercury Alpha 1. I’ve searched by year, engine serial number, etc. to no avail. Mine Jax 4 wires (green pink red blue) and a white square connector. Most I’m finding online have only 3 wires. Sorry I didn’t get a pic of the connection under the helm. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Much appreciated!
(I threw a pic of my cracked alternator bracket in for fun, great weekend, even had a spare tire throw a belt while on the storage rack!😬)

This is my little Sister and her Husband, she's a pretty good sleuth on stuff like this.

That is one that I’ve looked at. Mine has 4 wires coming out of the switch, not 3. It also doesn’t have the black rubber box with what I can see is 3 wires coming out of it. I cannot tell where the 4th wire originated from!?!? Thanks for looking though, it is appreciated.
