my last outing... I had a failure with my 1996 60 hp johnson tilt/trim. The switch on my throttle/shift controls at the console will raise the motor but nothing happens when I try to lower it...no sounds..no movement. However, I am able to tilt down the motor with the switch that is on the port side of the O/B. It works perfectly. I am going to get my clymer and start by attempting to check the actual switch on the controls...Is it likely to be that or is it most likely going to be something else with these symptoms?<br /> Beaux

Beaux,<br /><br />It is the switch and/or the wiring between the switch and the engine. Check the connection closest to the switch.
