They work a bit differently than I was expecting. Being a 2-pin connector, I figured they were closing either a "downshift" or "upshift" circuit that's read by a chip somewhere. They actually work by increasing resistance across an existing circuit, which is read as either an upshift or a downshift depending on the voltage drop. The QA + use of magnets may have caused an anomaly in the circuit which caused the sensor to fail.

100% pure speculation, it may not even be the same circuit or chip, but it's the only thing I can think of. I'm also not 100% certain (but fairly sure) it was working after I swapped the paddles.

Oh well, install is friday!
Did you swap paddles back before you brought it in?
