Hello,
I had a micro switch go bad and it made one of my EZ-Track remote turnouts remain powered for an unusually long time
I replaced the micro switch however the turnout seems to have burnt out
makes noise but won't switch.
Does anyone know if they make replacements for the turnout switches or do I need to replace the entire turnout?

You could phone the service department, explain your problem, and see if they can help.  But don't be surprised if a new turnout is the only answer.

Have you considered using simple capacitor discharge machines to prevent this problem in the future?
Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Yes I have set up a failsafe for my switches now that only allows a .5 second pulse works perfect
