Ok so I have a battery (3 x DD batteries 1.5volts each) operating cat toy that stopped working so I thought I would pull it apart and see what was wrong with it as my cat loved it, got it all pulled apart and the electronic/wires look fine I then saw that on the switch the wire was coming away from one of the prongs I then solder it back on but the switch wouldn’t work, but as soon as I put contact with a 1.5v battery it would work, so I thought it was the switch, I went out and brought a new switch is the same. I have soldered the wires on and it still does not work, I am at my loose ends not sure why it won’t work when connected to the switch but as soon as you hook it up to a 1.5v battery it works. Can someone please tell what I am doing wrong? Have I missed a step? Can someone help me or give me some points that I may need to check. This is the first toy I have pulled apart and looked at so not very familiar with the whole electrical scene. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
I have photos that I am happy to email, unfortunately I couldn’t upload them.
