check there is no coins in the runners or anything stuck in there. you should see this without moving it.

failing that the switch may be the problem

definately sounds like theres a coin or something in the runner tracks. remove the side plastics and look inside the tracks.

i would check the inner one 1st since this is next to centre console were a coin would more than likely fall down .
