I'm not saying it ISN'T the switch you ordered...& this is just a long shot, but a possibility.
I had the same symptom with mine while in the "fine tuning" stages of installing the previously mentioned shift kit from Tone.
It's possible that the previous owner installed the kit & it needs adjustment.
The likely location of the adjustment module would be on the drivers side, up under the engine, where the exhaust pipe comes down from the manifold.
You would have to crawl under & look really hard to find it.( I have a difficult time finding mine sometimes, & I installed it. )

Just throwing it out there as a "maybe", in case the new switch doesn't solve your problem.
