Tilt /Trim Electric Motor Running

[asignabove]

I have a 2001 Johnson 115hp. Used the boat the other day and all worked fine. Brought the boat home and parked it and the next day went out and heard the electric tilt/trim motor running and it would not shut off. Finally had to disconnect the battery cable to stop it. The motor started by itself sometime after I got it home. Pulled the relays and looked to see if there was any cororsion and found none. I connected the battery cable again and the motor started up again, I pushed the tilt up button on the side of the motor and the motor stoped but did not raise any, and when I released the button the motor started running again. I think the motor is running in the down directon, but just a guess. Would this be a relay problem or should I look elsewhere?

Ok I got the motor working properly. It apperars it was a stuck switch on the throttle control. Now when I lower the tilt it shudders any Ideas?

sounds like sticky brushes give the t/t motor a couple taps not too hard then tilt it up @ down several times did this with mine @ it warms out @ works
