Please help with search ideas for tilt mechanism parts.My tilt won't work and I verified the motor is good. A white plastic switch on top is a missing part, I think this is why it doesn't work.
 
If you have the later Lift Out unit relay system (full black plastic encasement), the V850710 micro switch is a Hartman series F 49.

The Vice Rod depresses the micro switch button upon full retraction (vice rod fully up....... drive fully down) of which interrupts the electric motor's negative circuit so that the motor stops rotating.

If you operate the motor outside of the OEM wiring, and in the retract direction, you will risk breaking the cast iron clutch component of the lift unit clutch release system.
If the cast iron clutch component is damaged, the motor will turn the worm gear, but the vice rod will neither extend nor retract.
