Depending on the wiring if it has 2 relays one is UP and one is DOWN. Swap them and see if you have the opposite problem. If so, replace relay.
If not, post back but those relays going bad is not uncommon.

What a cut up !!! Thanks guys, it was the relay....it was odd, I swapthem and the up and down works now. I thought just the down would work.Now I know some things you can get at any auto store ( like a fuse) are those relays one, or are they a dealer item ? Thanks for all the help.Gotem said:

Back when I had power trim on a bigger boat Advance Auto ran the number but could find the part. So we started going through the boxes of relays and we found one. Couldn't tell you the number but you have to compare the relay diagram. It probably isn't worth doing though you save a few bucks but they're not marine grade.
When I used to work on F-16's that would happen a lot. Swap the relay and then it would begin to work again for a little while or even worse, be intermittent. Best to change it out because it will fail again before too long.
