they call it an optic switch but all it is reading is the grooves as it turns. It is actually pretty rare for those to go bad. Test the voltages coming from the console and make sure you have good continuity through the harness wires. You will need to check for voltage when the up button is pushed and the down button is pushed. If there is no voltage coming when the buttons are pressed you may have a bad console.
