Default I need Help on my OFNA Chrome Top

Last Saturday night my OFNA Chrome Top was working perfectly fine when I was breaking-in my CEN Matrix RTR, then Sunday morning it would no longer start. Tonight I removed the two wires from the on/off switch and removed the wires going to the 12v battery. Instaling them back again I installed the wires to the on/off switch first(it's currently off) then when I was intsalling the wires to the 12v battery next it started running even though the switch is currently off.
What is wrong with my starter box? Should I replace my on/off switch?
I really need help it's almost impossible to start My Matrix engine without this starter box.

Sorry but I can't get a clear pic using my digital cam, but I'm pretty sure my wiring and all the connections are perfect since it was working fine last week until sunday where it suddenly didnt work.

you could have melted the on/off swich. I had the swich where you push down on to make the motor come on, melt before on me

Yeah , the cotacts might have fused together , check that . the spring should force them open after you push it down . If it is wired right that is the only thing that would make the motor stick on .

Thanks Danno and JB, Ifever it is that spring that engages the motor when I push down on my buggy do you guys know where I could order a new one(what is it called?)? I'll also order a new switch just in case, I saw one in Amainhobbies for under 2 bucks.
