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!

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
