Don't know what type toe switch you have, but I could open mine up. It was acting up so I opened it and took some 220 grit sandpaper and cleaned the contacts, then blew the stuff out, put it back together, and it worked like a charm. Good luck. BTW, mine is a Minn Kota, I have one on each boat. Love 'em.

I've got some experience with Motor Guide. My suggestion is...
get a Minn Kota.

This will solve your problem.
