If a rack and pinion system, they dont usually have them. The switch carries the entire load.
Do you by chance need a switch?
Gee that's not how mine work.
I have the Power Gear Rack and Pinion.. and the manual. What I did not have till recently is the location of the QWE#$ P@_(*#OU${@# Controller (That's called a ding bat and is the printer's equivlent of the Broadcasters BEEEEEP out of bad language).
The switch tells the controller what it wants to do the controller monitors current to tell the motor when to stop.
IN my case .. Well I won't tell you as they put it in a stupid spot. I'd have put it near the motor. they put it over 10 feet away
How I found it
I got a Cable Tracker from Harbor Freight
Cut the lead to the motor and hooked up the transmitter
Beep beep beep got to a "Y" in the bundle and followed the wrong branch NO BEEP. went back and followed the other branch BEEP BEEP and 2 or 3 Y's later there was the controller board WOW.
Some are clearly different but many, including the last two RV's I've owned, just used the switches with no controller or relays involved.
