PLS Hlp! Jungle King always moves left in 4th stage

Maybe its happening all the time, but this behavior is most noticeable on the 4th level (native village..girl on rope)....

The Jungle King immediately is moving to the left (towards the natives) and this makes playability impossible.

I checked the joystick leaf switches and they are not making contact unless you push the joystick in a certain direction. ( I thought maybe the switch was touching)...

So what could be doing this? How can I fix it?

Thanks!!!
 
Sounds like a short in the joystick. Continuity test all the switches.
 
So do I use my multimeter and touch both the switches contacts on all the switches under the joystick? Sorry I've never checked the continuity of a joystick!

thanks!!
 
I tried to check the continuity and actually thought one switch was bad, but when I checked it again it seemed fine...

I rehooked up the connections and everything seems to be working fine now..

so I'm not entirely sure what was going on..when in doubt disassemble it I guess! :)
 
Probably had the left switch shorted closed. When you took it apart, it popped back open and everything works again. :) Glad it all worked out.
