For high speed, the switch only grounds the black w/blue wire.

Check to make sure your switch is making good electrical contact where it mounts to the dash. If the dash has been repainted it might be keeping the switch from making good contact.
Thanks for the help. You might have discovered my problem. I've got the switch out laying in the floor to aid in testing. I guess I need to ground the switch body. Why didn't I think of that.
