Slide not working

I have a 2010 keystone 290 bh . I am currrently figuring why my slide isn’t working anymore. I have checked motor w battery I brought in hook it up to motor runs fine. I checked volts on battery 13.5. Ordered new switch. I have 2 sets of wires coming out from where slide switch wires up. 1 white wire 1 red wire. 1 white 1 red wire. Tested volts one set reads 13.5 which runs to battery. Other had nothing which runs to motor. How do I wire up the s141 slide switch I don’t have harness for it.

The switch should say on it. The switch should reverse the polarity depending on which way you press it.

From what I see on website for that switch,

Looking from top. 3 prongs on left 2 prongs right

Motor -
Motor+ Motor +
Power. Motor-

Like I said I have 2 sets of wires sane colors red and white. The positive 13.5 goes to power.
And what I’m seeing rest if wires run off of the motor side of wires the dead wires correct? So where does the negative side of the 13.5 positive power go?

Can’t post image I got crap service

All the pics of an S141 switch that I can find are 4 pin.

On edit: I did find an S141 5 pin. Let me see if I can remember which wires went where.

A switch with 5 connections and 4 wires doesn't make sense to me. A "standard S141" switch has 4 connectors. It has the polarity reversing (X crossover) built in so power connects to 2 contacts and motor to the other 2.

In one pic I found it looks like the motor leads go to the 2 pin side and the power and ground go to the 3 pin side. Power to power and negative to motor negative.

I personally would get a 4 pin S141 switch.
