Default Problem with Mamba max pro????

Having a problem with my MMP that I need help with. It has an intermittent problem since I got it with on powering on I get 2 tones then the fan comes on. I have steering, but no throttle. I cycle the on off switch slowly a couple times, then finally it will give me all 3 tones and I am off and running.
Updated firmware to 1.29beta, didn't help.
Fast forward to today, it gives me the 2 tones, got steering, fan on, no throttle. Cycled the on off switch, then nothing, nada. No lights, no steering. So I tried updating firmware again and it takes the update, lights on. Plug it back into truck, nothing.

Sounds like the switch, or the BEC may be bad.

Thought about the switch myself. Hopefully the bec isn't bad. I had it set at default(which I believe is 5v?)
Thanks for the fast response John.

I would say shoot Castle tech an email or call. They may have more insight on it.

I normally solder the switch leads together. I loathe switches. We can use the battery plug to turn on and off, or have a plug to interrupt one of the power wires.
