2010 Denali power tilt not working

[Saint James]

Hi, I have 2010 Denali, power tilt does not work. Pushing switch on column up or down does nothing. Everything else works, except for the AC cooling in passenger front seat (which I understand to be a second issue to address separately). Memory works, both heated seats, power seats, etc., so I dont thinknits the module. Can I bypass the switch to move the wheel? I just want to move it down about an inch or so and never move it again. Can I open up the column cover and possibly move some gear with a flathead screwdriver or use some other mechanical override?
There is very little info or discussion on the web about this. I did learn that the motor is hard to find and costs around $100, if you can locate one. But I haven't seen any youtube vids on how to replace the motor if needed, how to troubleshooot or repair, etc...
Any information from your fine establishment would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

try messing with the wires behind the drivers seat module sometimes it gets it to kick on for a second which is enough you probably just have a loose power wire going to the motor yeah the modules are known to burn out but easy stuff first ya know. if you can get the motor out I think a drill can turn the pinion however it’s a complicated system

I'm guessing the driver's seat module under the driver's seat ?

Ya I would verify it has power, for as little as these are used it should never go bad
