  • Inspect for burnt or discoloured terminals and melted plastic; replace the switch if damaged.
  • Check that all wires are firmly connected to the correct terminals according to the wiring diagram.
  • If some positions work and others do not, the internal cam or contacts are likely worn; replace the selector switch.
