Have just had the same problem and found that the wire had broken where it was crimped on the push on terminal which connects onto the mag switch.What had happened was the wire was broken but the insulation remained connected to the crimped section on the terminal.Check wires at back of switchs by giving them a pull and if broken the insulation will stretch.
