YES!

I love it when people answer their own questions!

If you want to find out which, test the switch. If it fails, replace it. If the switch is OK, test the motor.

And be sure to check the associated fuse first.

Also read the owners manual. There may be some additional switch or setting controlled by the driver that keeps it from operating, in the interest of safety.
