(Number 4 looks a bit marginal too in the same area)
I reckon that #2 is probably supposed to go open circuit when in R but was actually shorting across to the "bypass" section of the track, thus confusing the TCU.

While you had it apart, I don't suppose you had time to test it with a multimeter and confirm which track connects to which pin?
I started trying to work it out logically and did reckon the inner one was pin 1 then pin 2 but the next going out might be 5.....
(Maybe I'll just open up my cleaned up old one and check?)
