If it's a new one with one switch, adjust it (Bentley).  If it's an
old one with two switches...adjust it.  But in that case it may be a
bad switch or busted wire.  The old-type switch is much larger and
sturdier than the new-type.  I've rejuvenated one by squirting
contact cleaner in around the actuating pin, underneath the rubber bellows.
