89' f450 fuel tank problem

Hello,

Just bought a 89 f450 for a work truck. One issue is not being able to switch tanks. I'm stuck on the back tank. This is a new issue it was working when I first picked it up a month ago.

Are their some simple trouble shooting things I can do before handing it over to a mechanic?

I think the actual switch works. When I try to switch tanks it starts to choke itself off even though the tanks are full.
