which is faulty

attached i have pictures of my niles hd5 wall speaker you will sea a button switch that is used for -3 db attenuation on the tweeter..the switch has 3 wires attached to it ..the middle wire on the switch measure a constant resistance between itself and the + wire on the tweeter the other 2 outer wires measure open resistance when the switch is pushed in and cancels out the tweeter all together..when it is released it measures a resistance value on both outer wires
and the tweeters come back on ,now on the other speaker the same the outer wires measure a resistance weather the switch is on or off the only thing that changes is the resistance value switches form the top wire to the bottom wire but the treble change is very slight,if any change at all..now the first speaker used to have open resistance the whole time and no treble weather the switch was on of off until i cleaned it with contact cleaner then i had treble but still total cut off when the button is depressed.....any ideas as to why? these speakers are brand new so use is not a factor :-<

can you draw the circuit diagram?, it's a bit hard to follow from text - & check that both are wired the same
Push switches are dodgy at the best of times and corrode really easily, use will actually keep the contacts clean. But for tweeters, you're unlikely to use the switch much, I'd chose the setting you like and hard wire it that way
