My Helm Lift switch intermittently goes from working to not working. Working on it last night I got in over my head and am trying to get the wiring back on correctly to the rocker switch. Also need to know if there is some sort of resistor that could be the problem. If someone can provide the correct wiring color coding that would be VERY much appreciated.

That's why I try to remember to take before pictures, so that I can put the after mess back together. Good Luck!
Let us know which boat and year, and also some pictures of the situation would help. Did you disconnect the wires to more than just that one switch? This guide may be helpful. https://newwiremarine.com/how-to/wiring-a-boat/
I have a 330 and can get you some pics Thursday morning. I also have some intermittent issues and I think it is probably the switch. However buddy with same boat replaced his ram ... at the reasonable price of $500. Ugh!
Got it fixed! Got a wiring diagram and got the switch put back together. Still didn’t work. Tested the motor and determined it was good. Determined the switch was good as we were getting 12V to the connectors connecting the switch to the ram. Cut the connectors off and hard wired the leads together and viola, it worked! Thanks for your replies!

I bought my 330 with the ram non-operational, and was quite pleased to determine it was the switch and not the ram itself. Nice diagram of the wiring.
