Ive got a mercury 125 1996 model.....

The trim on my throttle works down and not up,However on my motor and I have another trim hooked up they both work perfect up and down.

For a little while I was having problems with the fuse on the motor blowing shutting off all gauges trim electricals and If you shut off the motor it wouldnt start till you opened the cowl and put a new fuse in.......

I have had it rebuilt since then and havent experianced this problem yet again.

However How can the tilt and trim be working on the other two switches just fine But ive only got down on the throttle????

Sounds like a bad "up" switch in the throttle hadle, or the blue wire got disconnected or broken somewhere between the switch and the motor. My '93 Merc has a bullet connector for the front switch, at the main plug under the motor cowling. Maybe yours got disconnected?
