Thanks. Since it won't go up, I'll start with that solenoid.

Correct, I was talking about the tilt motor. It would
be unlikely that both solenoids would fail at the same
time. I would use a volt meter to ensure that power
is getting though the solenoids and into the motor.
That would help narrow down where the problem is
occurring.
