No Tilt UP on my 3.0 OMC Cobra

[bentcoinreturn]

Hi Folks,
Newbie... name of BentCoin... Perhaps someone might have a similar experience and might be able to offer a suggestion. While preparing my 1991 Four Winns (I believe the engine is an original 1990) 3.0L GM OMC Cobra for bed for the winter, I lowered the outdrive to change the lube. When I tried to raise it, there was no sound from the hydraulic pump and no click whatsoever. The tilt down still works fine. I opened the pressure relief valve on the manifold and raised the outdrive. I checked the wires on the unit and everything looks fine. Checked again... same thing. Down works fine... no sound when I pressed UP. No difference whether the engine is running or not. Everything else works great. I'm not familiar with the location of any fuses and thought someone may have come across this before... I don't have any trim option.
Any ideas? Thanx in Advance.... BentCoin

Hi Folks,
I learned something new today towards solving my problem that suggests that I have may have a short in the tilt UP/Down switch. With the throttle in neutral or reverse, the tilt UP doesn't work. If I put the throttle in full forward, it does. Obviously, I tried this only with the engine off. Small step, but it's a start.

Yup the switch or the up solenoid

Try the switch first
