    The switch is just on-off for the machine? That's it? How much power goes through it, and what would happen if you just jumped out the switch with a fused jumper with wire heavy enough to carry the load?

    No, the switch just diverts the power from the Y stepper motor to the rotary stepper motor. I haven't used it in a couple of years but find it odd that the terminals and wires are fried. I disconnected the M21 and M22 wires from the Y controller to see if anything changed....dead still.
