You probably need a whole new grip assembly. The two halves top and bottom. Top half usually has the switches with it. I’ve seen them on eBay from time to time. Also, check the self propel cable to see if it moves the actuator on the motor base. If it doesn’t you’ll probably need a new cable as well.
Nice find I have the green version. | ||

PowerMax Headlight Lens Hi. I took off the headlight lens to check the bulbs, and now I can't get it back on. How do I get it back on without breaking it? | ||

This PowerDrive engagement design was always faulty IMO. People carry it by the PowerDrive handle and not by the carrying handle or handle yoke, so over time it stretches out or breaks the thin little wire that connects the PowerDrive handle to the transmission. It is also common for them to get hit on the handle and it can break that way as well. I have two different Hoovers and both of them have this problem.
I'd make sure the belts for the PowerDrive are good first, and if they are, the wire that engages the PowerDrive has likely come off from the handle or has been stretched out. | ||

I forgot to link it, there's instructuons here on how to repalce or inspect the drive cable wire, its mostly the same on much of Hoover's powerdrive models.
