Anyone ever hear of the switch changing position on its own? Trying to change engine number, I put the switch in Command. For some reason it changes on its own to Run. Any ideas?

Where is a run/command switch? Do you mean RUN/PGM? If it's "changing on it's own", my guess is that the switch is flaky and losing contact in the PGM mode. PGM mode is switch closed, so if the switch is not making contact it is automagically in RUN mode. Those cheap switches frequently have the rear tabs get loose, many times just crimping them back down fixes them.

It’s a spst switch operation. I’m guessing that command is a closed contact. If the switch is faulty and truly a closed contact for programming, then faulty opening would put it back into run.
