Default Trim's Down But Not Up

After putting it on the trailer Saturday, the trim on my Yamaha 115 all of a sudden quit going up. Is there somewhere I should start the diagnosing process? Hopefully this isn't a trim motor issue.....

BTW, I know it's not switch related, I got the same result from all 3 switch locations.

Bad Trim relay. Take yoru cover off and you will see two relays next to eachother. When it is real quiet, hit teh trim switch and see if you hear a click coming from teh relay. If not, it is probably done. To be sure, switch teh relays... Your motor will now tilt up insted of down. This is a very cheap and simple fix.. you are lucky.

+1 relays or solenoids (depending on motor age)

Motor is a 2000 model if that helps.

Good to hear you guys saying what I've already thought may be the problem. Thanks for the fast replies.
