SOLVED Kliche mini not working

I’ve built literally over 20 kliches and have never had this issue but this is my first mini. What’s happening is there is no sound either engaged or on bypass and the led is on nonstop except for the brief time when it is pushed but before it clicks.

Also, it’s my first using a dpdt. I’m sure I’ve hooked it up correctly but I’m thinking maybe bad footswitch.

Let me know what you guys think. I can put up pics tomorrow after work.

Are you sure it's not a momentary DPDT switch and your wiring is correct? Also, please provide pictures of your build.

I checked my order. It’s latching unless I was sent the wrong thing.

Here is a quick pic I took before leaving for work.

If the switch was momentary but otherwise working properly you should still have a signal passing (clean bypass or effected, depending on the orientation of the switch) even when the switch isn't pressed.

It might be a bad footswitch, this is fairly easy to diagnose if you have a DMM.

I do have one. Can you give me any specifics on what to look for?

I believe you'd want to check continuity between the common and both poles on both positions. (between left-center and left-top / left-bottom...same on right). Pressing the switch should produce the opposite results.
