I think we found the problem; I do not think you need a new switch or board.  I'd suggest gently tightening down the spade terminals' grip with a pliers before putting them back on (carefully--you don't want to squash them flat so they don't plug back in!)  Bad connections due to loose (or corroded) spade terminals would cause frustrating reliability issues.

The switch pinout should match the little 3-pin connector.  All that really matters is that the middle pin of the connector goes to the middle spade of the switch (pick just one side of the switch, ignore the other--it's a DPDT switch), and the other 2 leads go to the other spades on the same side of the switch.

If the switch is indeed bad, try moving the 3 wires to the other side of the switch.  It's a low power signal, so I would be quite surprised if the switch is bad.

Here's a photo of an "official" PJ switch for pinout...please note that the 3 spade terminals on the other side of the switch are not connected.

Thanks for the pic, it corrected the problem of no output. See new pics of it working and powering an electric 1500 heater off the 110 volt outlet. Again I thank everyone for their help,I could not have done it without your help.
