Re: tilt trim works only on motor

There is a solid green wire that goes from the trim control box to the motor. That can't be cut, or the trim switch in the cowling would not function. There is a green wire with a white tracer that goes from the trim control box to the throttle control box handle. If that was cut, the trim would not go down, but would function in the up switch position. You should look at the top of this Johnson/Evinrude webpage and look for the wiring diagram thread, then look up your model year. That may be more helpful.
