Check fuses/relays, does it throw out any error codes? I had a feeling it was the PNP switch, just wanted you to check the other two first and rule them out before replacing. Did you put in a new one? I pulled my old one and took it apart and cleaned it up although it was close to immaculate when I took it apart.

relays can 'click' and still not work right, if there's too much crud on the contacts, or bad soldering on the little circuit board.
