So anyone got a fix or a solution to this?

Mine worked fine, but when I took the assembly off and replaced the Top Strikers for the Convertible top, the Left and Right ON/OFF switches dont work...WTF

I remember seeing a thread about cleaning the contacts or whatever on the bottom of the 3 way switch. Overtime they get corroded. My switch is picky, I haven't taken the time to take the assembly apart and clean it yet. When it flickers or stops working I have to move the switch less than 1mm to the left or right and it will usually work again.

Remove and replace the steering wheel and gear selection input device. Same thing as the pedal actuator.

Yup, my contacts were green-ish, cleaned them up and all is good, must have done it because of the switch being in center position most of its life and when i moved the switch, the contacts got gunked up...
