Cobra 148gtl No Modulation and...

I was poking around in mine and found that when i touch together the purple wire that goes to the dim switch and the wire jumper next to it on the pc board it goes into normal transmit and receive and works 100% perfectly. Disconecet the two and tx/rx flashes back and forth again. Radio is going in and out of tx super fast. Totally strange
