Depends on what part of the ignition circuit it is wired in. Could be the wire size, and or switch is too small.

From what i saw it was purple and black wires. It was a 5 amp switch and i just changed it myself to a 10/20 amp switch. No change. The wires may be the culprit? Thank you for the reply.

Wires were too small. Swapped them to 14 guage and all is good. Hope this helps any folks in the future.
