So, start with the basics. Read the voltage on the push to talk pin of the jack, and see what happens to it when you plug that mic in.
If it goes to zero, you are shorting it out somehow.
Proceed methodically and systematically from that point to find out where it got shorted to ground. ?
This is regular old ham radio, a chance to learn and practice techniques of figuring things out
