What I think I found is a failed spring inside my micro switch. I measured the travel on my new switches and found .043" travel for the roller on the lever would close the switch. My old one was so weak I had to hold the roller up to zero my dial indicator. It then only required .025" travel to close the switch. I think the new switch with more travel and a stronger spring will help prevent bumping the 2 step. The new switches (bought a spare) costs about three dollars at Affiliated Electronics. Cheapest thing on the whole car.
What you look for is called a short roller micro switch. Affiliated's part number for the switch is PH30-2080B. They are online.
Hope this helps somebody.
