Has anyone ever used this switch? (http://www.dimecitycycles.com/retro-style-chrome-motorcycle-handlebar-control-switch-78-inch-handlebars.html)

I bought it and just getting around to installing it, and the red and black buttons don't "work". Using my DVOM I was able to figure out that the Pink is 12v into the switch and the Reds are for the high and low beam. I know the black/red goes to the black button (horn) and the brown to the red (starter), but when pushing them, they do nothing. has anyone else run into this? My next step is to take everything apart and see if something isnt connected or cut, but I am at a lose with it.

(Called Dime City and they don't have any info on it, and the co. they get them from (EMGO) doesnt offer much help)

Thanks!
 
First, make sure your handlebars are grounded. That might be an easy fix.

Other than that, what make and model of bike are you running?
 
It's a 71 xs1. But no wiring on the bike. Just wondering about this switch if anyone has used it. I'm gonna take it apart this weekend and see what's up.

Thanks for the reply
