If you suspect the switch (in this case the PO's replacement) about all I can say is good luck. Troubleshooting the OEM switch is bad enough. Trying to interpret somebody's patchwork is going to be worse.
The switch is a multiple pole switch. Its normal operation is On and Off. In Off, it still makes up some circuits. A switch from Dometic included the ribbon cable going to the logic board and it was all wired up at the multiple poles of the switch. Switch itself could probably be found at an electronics supply house.
I junked our RM 763 in 2004 and parts were hard to get before that. I'd be surprised if anybody can get the switch. Logic board, sure, thanks to Dinosaur Electronics. Last year, I sold all my leftover parts to a man in Texas. Logic board, which was what he needed at the moment, switch, gas valve and a few other misc. items.
There are some 763s out there running, and some of those have rebuilt cooling units. I realize the box itself is nothing but a big cooler. Then the rest of it consists of three other major components - Cooling Unit, Gas Valve, and Controls (mostly Logic Board). So sure, you can keep the Box, change out the Cooling Unit, and work on the Gas and Controls. But some of those parts are no longer available. Also, I found many unreliable connections due to corrosion. After spending a few hundred on it, I gave up on the 763. So to my way of looking at it, 763s, approaching 30 years old, aren't worth trying to keep running.
