Kickdown doesn't work, switch is new, what to check next?

'84 w123 300D turbo.

I'm finally taking over the blues mobile for some more DD duty. I'm wanting to solve the no trans kickdown problem. Sure I could search out the info but, for times sake, I'm throwing the question out again.

The trans shift fine. Up through the gears like it should, down through the gears like it should. Just when I want to hit the switch for high RPMs... Nothing.

I replaced the switch with a new one and that did nothing. I've been fiddling with the modulators and the cable to ge it shifting the way it is right now but still no vroom vroom.

Any ideas to what should be checked next will be appreciated.
