Goes up fast, won't go down

[Salty1]

Too bad I'm talking about my trim/tilt from the helm. For some reason, it goes up only, not down. I can put the outboard down from the engine buttons, so I still can operate. I took the handle apart to see if I had a wire loose, but theT/T button is enclosed. Any tips on a repair. Oh, it's a 1996 200HP Evenrude outboard. Thanks, Bobby

A BAD SWITCH @ THE HELM OR BROKEN WIRE BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND HELM (CHECK CONTUNUITY ) if it is the switch it could just have a bit of salt /corrosion on the contacts on that side of the switch but that is the diagonsis from 1 computer to the next lol !!!!!!!
