    I have a set that had about the same problem
    I cheated and changed the power switch out for one that is double throw
    one set of contacts controls the power the other open the circuit going to the
    problem pin
    not the way a pro would have done it but works for me

    Default

    Another way is to leave the power on permanently, and with the switch, ground out the MCLR and hold the PIC in reset. This will force the PIC into a sleep mode.

    May not be suitable for your application, but its worth looking at a problem from more than one angle!
