Quoted from JohnTTwo:

Thanks so much, I believe it is the the secondary switch because it flips when it should just doesn't trip the second switch. As a newbie would you suggest getting a new opto board or the opto itself? I am not afraid to try stuff and have ruined stuff with soldering stuff before and can laugh it off, education is expensive and I am not afraid to learn

Start by cleaning the optos with a q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol then be sure the interruptor is actually moving far enough out of the way to allow the opto beam to close. If it still doesn't work the optos themselves are easy to replace but be sure it's not a bad connector or a wire hasn't come loose in the connector first.

Quoted from JohnTTwo:

Just use a piece of wire and touch both connections on the opto intermittently would that ID the opto as bad or good?
Thanks this is fun!!!

Don't do this. Jumpering things when you don't fully understand the circuit is never, ever a good idea and will more than likely cause more problems.

Quoted from LTG:

You can switch them, but you do have do different styles of boards. The right one does have optos. If you can, just replace it.

Block the light beam path, I wouldn't go jumping anything.
LTG : )

I take it the left one is the magnet based after-market board, I've never seen one of those in person, just pictures.
