bad switch, its a two position switch, position one; is up/out and no light on, position two is down/in, and light on. it should stay in what ever position is selected until it is pushed again then it returns to the "other" position. if the switch is not saying down/in then the switch is broken and you probably just need a new switch. all the switch does is hold shifts and change shift points, it doesn't give you "more" power
