not sensing pressure switch

if your lucky, it’ll be just that, but experience would suggest a faulty pcb

I’ll take three……

Seriously, check whether or not the pressure switch is clicking over or not. Better still, check the switching function with a multimeter. It’s the “cheap and easy” bit.

PCB are generally bad news, expensive to get the right one, and awkward to set up properly. And still very unreliable……

If the pressure switch proves to be functional I’d be thinking about moving on – far better product out there for little more money

At the risk of incurring your displeasure, I would respectfully suggest that if the above statement is true, you leave well alone and call someone in who does know how to test and repair electrical/electronic equipment.
