Switch Problems?

My Stihl FSE 60 is not turning on every time that I press on the two levers. sometimes it engages, and sometimes it does not. No change when I move the power cord that enters the housing, and the extension cord is firmly seated. I suspect it may be a connection inside the housing. any ideas on what the problem might be, and where I should focus?
