Wheel switch not working

Anyone have any experience troubleshooting the drive-wheel circuit on the 20MTs? The motor by the wheel is getting power but when I twist the handle throttle it doesn't work in either direction, turtle or rabbit. I kind of suspect a fault somewhere in the switch circuit. But would appreciate the benefit of anyone's expertise.

Thanks!
