I installed 4 new leaf switches into my TMNT and some of them are not registering diagonal. Am I hooking something up wrong. I checked and contact is being made on both leafs while on diagonal position. Are their leaf switches that don't understand 8 direction? Thanks in advance.
 
Leaves are just pieces of metal that allow current to pass.. Simple hardware. So to answer your question, no.. Leaves are leaves..

Now, if they arent wired up or have dirty contacts.. That will cause issues. Look how the other leaves are wired and use that as a template. Also, you can use a multi meter to test each leaf, (on/off)..
 
But do some leaf bases not understand when 2 leafs are activated for diagonals? They work perfect 4 direction it's just the 4 diagonal it's not registering.
 
Depends on the plastic actuator at the base of the stick. Thin walls, 4-way.. Thick walls 8-way..

If your making correct contact, then test with a meter.
