I believe my master switch failure was due to oxidation of the terminals. The
plastic cut off switches are not sealed very well for racing in the rain. I was
able to get it working in the paddock with contact cleaner and repeated
actuation, ignored advise to bypass it, and it then failed during the race and
cost me a win. Later replaced it with a sealed metal switch like these from

What causes these switches to fail?
