I got it resolved. The switch was appearing to go to the ON positions, but when I disassembled it, it was in fact not reaching the other position, though it would go to OFF & ON in both position. I ended up moving the contact a bit higher to reach the second position and now it works correctly! Thanks everyone for the great information!!
