First line of defense for any switch problem is contact cleaner...every 5-way switch in the universe is prone to oxidation building up on the contacts. New or not, there's no telling how long that guitar sat in a warehouse or stockroom. Could be some other problem, but try the contact cleaner first...may or may not help, but it's not gonna make things any worse.

NO good! should I take it apart?

 

I wouldn't...if it's brand new, send it back and get another one.

 

Cleaning the contacts was just the simplest thing to try, and almost impossible to destroy anything else in the process. If it's still dead, then obviously it's a more complicated problem. Whole switch may need to be replaced...
