did you grab a meter or test light and see if it will pass juice when the switch is pressed? it probably was on its last leg and just went south (ive lost a few of those on cars and bikes). i like to make sure they pass 12 volts - a continuity test can be misleading (no load on the contacts). should be like a 5 dollar switch. good luck.

did you check fuses? And how much did the swap cost?

havnt checked any fuses but i will do that, and also use a test light to see what if anything is goin on. the swap total cost me a lil over a grand. used tranny, bellhousing and pedals with mostly everything else new
