Answer 1

Sounds like one of the wires to your trim/tilt motor has been damaged.  They are usually a set of three wires(red, blue and green), you'll need to follow them from the trim/tilt switch to the tilt motor.  Look for any places that the wires could rub against something.  If you know how to use an ohmmeter, then you might be able to narrow it down that way.  Find the plugin closest to the motor  with the set of wires that go to the tilt motor and test for continuity.  If you find a section of wire that has no continuty or unusually high continuity, then that is probably where your problem is.  If everything tests out fine, and there are no visual signs of damage, you may have a broken tilt motor.  One of the wires may have simply unplugged from the switch, the motor, or a plugin.

Check your relays...there are 2 of them and they look like black cubes. One is your down relay, the other is your up relay. Switch them out( they just plug in) and see if it will go up but not down. If it does....you know which one is bad and you will need to replace it.
