Mine, after taking it out, look burnt and the plastic was all wavy. If it doesnt look messed up smell it. Most of the time if it is bad you will be able to smell burnt plastic. There is also a rod that moves the connection points that your key turns, this rod could have come loose and is now not engaging the starting point on the switch.
