My button on my foot pedal works some times. Took button off the pedal. Only thing under the button is a small spring. I do not see a reed. Can you tell me what to do .No reed under button just a spring.

my trolling motor is a ultrex
I was just about to post on here the same thing. Mine is a maxxum and there is a spring and next to it is a magnet when pressed it makes contact and complets the circuit. I think mine is out because I have no power to it. As soon as I flip the switch to continuing it works fine. So either a new board or if I can buy a switch I will.
Seems you are having the same problem as me.
The magnet energizes the reed switch when the button is pressed. Take a small magnet and put against the reed and see if the motor comes on. If it does, the reed needs to be pushed up in the holder. If it doesn't, the reed needs replacing. The reed is the piece in the center of the plastic holder.
