Ron,

  Be careful, I once read that it is smoke that makes electrical things work.
 Especially electrical systems in LBC's.  It seems that the logic is this.
 "It must be smoke that makes the electrical's work, because everytime that
it (the smoke) leaks out of the electrical system, it stops working."

  Seriously, I wouldn't mess around - a minor short in your switch could
potentially lead to some other part of the harness burning out - fires aren't
unknown, but more importantly you will curse yourself if you have to replace
a wiring harness because a switch you could have replaced more easily burned
it up.
