There is a possibility there is a physical mounting situation. A piece of the plastic casing gets thrown off. I have a couple pics of the pieces. I tried to glue the first one together, but I think something electrical is happening inside you can not hear or feel the micro switch when you engage it. Not sure if there is any possibility for adjustment with the switches to the cam.
I am thinking about running a new 4 wire harness just to see if that helps, i ran the machine in reverse for over 30 minutes, stopping, restarting, footbrake, handle, emergency button. Wanted to check for an overheating situation... don't think so.
If the harness has no effect, I might just get a couple new switches than reverse the position of them, I prefer the forward to be in the up position anyway.
Thanks for the suggestions, it helps, and makes me keep positive about this whole thing.
