The top switch has been known to go bad in one direction. If you get NO noise from the motor in one direction, check for power at the motor connector when the switch is activiated. 12 power should show up at the motor connector when the switch is activiated, and reverse polarity in the opposite direction. If this checks out, they you might have a motor or hydraulic problem.

try pushing it up with your hand and maybe it will catch. I have to do that sometimes.
