So here's my issue. I was having trouble shifting into natural when out on the lake. It wouldn't happen all the time but when it did it was really bad. I spoke to some people about it and they said to change the shift cable. I changed the cable and put it on the muffs and everything shifted fine and the ESA was working good. I took it out to the lake yesterday and for the first 30mins everything was working great. After 30mins or so it started having trouble again. I checked the ESA switch and boom it did nothing. I get it home to work on it and the ESA is working again. I don't get it, is something getting too hot or what? I also cant find the ESA switch replacement that I have. If you notice in the picture I have the single ESA switch that works in forward and reverse and all the ones i find have the two switch setup. Thanks for any help

Sometimes the little button for the microswitch wears to the point where it won’t disengage or won’t engage. See the CDI electronics website for the switches.
Make sure the ESA module has a good ground or it won’t work.
