Quoted from MikeBass:

Ok. I tested them and the 3 that function correctly test as you state. The 4th (the problem child) does not and it may have to do with the way the wiring is done on that one switch. However, I never had an issue until I replaced the exit optos. The exit never registered in the 20 years I've owned this machine so I'm wondering if the wiring being done wrong at some point became an issue once I got the exit working right.
I'm very tempted to resolder the switch the same as the others and see what happens but I'm concerned it was designed like this and I would potentially damage something that is no longer available or very expensive.
Pics are attached of all 4 switches. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Picture #1 is wrong

This has been worked on before and its just backwards. A backwards diode will stop other switches and optos from working.

The silver band on the diode goes to the Hinge side of the switch in all cases, its currently backwards. No wires go to the silver banded end of the diode on that lug.

Use the other switches as a reference, they are all correct.

The red wire stays in the center, its correctly placed

The white wire is incorrectly placed, remove it and place it on the opposite side. The side that has the non-banded end of the diode on it.

Picture 2 shows a poorly connected center wire, If should be resoldered while you have it out.
