The wiring is crap.

Open and remove the handle. It requires a t-20 torque screwdriver (star head). You'll see some very scorched connectors. You'll need to pry those off, and solder the wires directly to the switch instead. If you can't solder, take it to an electronics or other repair shop or bribe a friend that does electronics. Good luck!
