Usually this problem can be attributed to not enough amperage. It jammed at 
the top and won't go down without the engine running. I've seen people who 
have had the whole tilt unit replaced and still had the problem. Mine did 
this twice this year, for me the answer was going with a higher amp hour 
rating battery.
