    Could be a bad relay, I have had to replace them a couple of times.

    I know it sounds stupid but check your battery that is charged. Mine had enough juice to let the motor down but not enough to raise it several years ago.

    swap your up relay for the down relay if it then works you will know you have a bad one.

    I was told that if the motor will move the relay is probably good.

    Sounds like a power or motor issue.

    Looked at it today It goes all the way down comes up 1/4 of the way slowly and no more without help. Going to drain the fluid tommorow and put new in mabye air in the cylinders?

    The motor on the trim sounds just fine pistons just stop going up. Got a buddy coming in the morning to check for air and bleed the system hope it works.

    Had this happen while at a dealer. He tried to sell me a new unit. Got home, checked battery, replaced battery and still going strong after 4-5 years.
