switch must have got damaged. that is the upper exhaust. that allows exhaust to escape without water pressure behind it at idle

You must use the correct switch and wire it up correctly.----Expensive damage will result if mistakes are made.----Part # of the factory switch that you installed ?-----Pictures of wires installed on each terminal.-----Colour of wires on the " M " terminals ??
