trinitron shower not turning on?

my triniton aquatronic 2 plus (fronm wickes diy shop) will not turn on, the fuse is ok the on/off pull switch is lighting up and the power neon light is coming on but fainter than before but the shower will not start. Can you help?

almost certainly a duff pull cord switch. The fainter neon light is caused by voltage drop in the switch when you try and power up the shower.
Likely the switch contacts are burnt out.
Make sure that the wiring on the pull cord switch hasn't overheated, if so the switch will need rewiring

check the connections in the shower on the connector block.
if ok check the pull cord connections
