    Side stand switch

    My side stand switch on my 81 1100e appears to be non- functional. I've Ohm'd it out at the switch, and nothing. Do those things come apart, or do I have to start searching for one?

    Does the light just stay " on or off " ? Note the diode involved with this switch.... Similar wiring diagram

      The light never comes on, and I believe it's an LED from when I had the panel apart last year - no reason for that to ever burn out. All of the other indicators on that indicator panel work, including the one for the battery level. I had to hook that one to 12v to get it go out.
      My schematic only shows a switch (no diode), and there's a note saying that on 81 1100EX, it's for battery level. It also says its for side stand on 80 1100EL.
      The switch has a stiff rubber boot that I can pull back just enough to see the contacts, so I'm checking for continuity there. The plunger seems to pull normally - fairly stiff spring, but I get no contact even when pulling it all the way out. The unit doesn't look like it wants to comes apart. I'll try testing the light.
