Bill,

If your steering lock is not functioning correctly then I am guessing that is 
your primary problem here.

When I installed the switch/lock on my 72, I really had to play with the 
fitting/location to insure the lock mechanism locked and unlocked as required. 
I never really tried the 3 position switch as I was concerned with the locking 
position.

Once I got the lock to function the switch worked as required.

That is where I would work first.

I am guessing once you get the lock working correctly the switch will work as 
designed.

Also make sure you lube the locking post with some 3/1 oil.
