skutt kiln controls oh heck

Hi All,

Here's something I don't know even where to start with:

I have a Skutt 231X (an old model) with controls on three levels. Just
did a very succesful cone 6 firing yesterday, and loaded a bisque today,
but now the darn thing won't come on. With the cone sitter set, and all
switches on OFF, the light indicating the kiln is on comes on, but as
soon as I turn any of the switches to low, the light goes off and
nothing happens, none of the elements warm up. The elements are all
new, I think this is a switch problem but, as I said, I don't even know
where to begin. Help.
