Lighting problems started several months back when I rewired everything together with a new 4 pos. light switch. Everything seemed to work OK, had good lights until one day no more lights. The ampmeter still worked OK,(good needle movement) just no lights. This was all happening when I still had a distributor ignition. Now I have changed over to a mag ignition. Now that my ignition switch is hooked up to the mag, the only needle movement should be influenced by the 4 pos. switch, RIGHT?? Well that's not happening anymore. No movement at all.
Well I thought, maybe I lost ground somewhere and let it go at that. The M was still running OK as is, so I decided not to trouble shoot it till after new paint and a new harness from wiringharnesses.com/ Well that's where I'm at right now, and still no lights. I did polarize the gen. BTW.
The ampmeter needle does not move now no matter what postion the switch is on, (B,D,H, or L) whereas before it did. (before new paint) I put a new fuse in and still nothing. I'm suspecting that the new 4 pos. switch may be defective. As you can see from the pictures, I seem to have good ground everywhere. That test line is coming from the battery. I'm thinking about buying another switch, but man those things are pricey. Am I missing something here? What say ye? HELP!!

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
