good way to check it? What else should I check?

Had problems with mine occasionaly not canceling a couple of years back. Cleaned the handle bar switch with wd-40 and haven't had any problem since. Might give it a try..........Gator Mike

I've cleaned mine twice and lubed with WD40. When it works, it does seem to work better. But, today it worked less than 1/2 the time.
Somewhere there was a thread that talked more about a wire that can break in a bundle. Would like to track that down at some point, if that is it.
Really, I like it when it works, but if intermittent, would rather it never did. Just IMHO.

take the control off the handle bar and then take the switch apart 1 Philips screw.
then clean it good and use a little Dielectric Grease on it and it should work fine.
Make sure the solenoid in there moves freely.
