Hell, grab your battery, couple of leads, and hard wire the motor. Thats how Ive been actuating mine until I get the switch problem worked out. Set of aligator clips on 12" of wire, clip onto the terminals in the connector, touch the other ends to + and -, reverse the wires to get opposite direction.

Other alternative is to unbolt the motor from the regulator, this allows full motion of the regulator by hand.
Be careful doing this though or you will be searching replacement parts. There is a hole in the arms and main body of the regulator that you can pin for safety and removal purposes.
