Or maybe not........
I took off the handgrip and plastic casing and could then see better down into the space. The switch was actually broken so the plugs were connected.
Unfortunately the break is right through and close to where the wiring plugs fit on, so they are now waving around connected to a broken component with exposed conductors which could potentially short out on nearby metal components.
Probably not a major issue as it would at worst turn the warning light on - or would that have other effects if detected by an ECU?
The wiring doesn't seem to have much slack on it but I'll try fishing it out to remove the exposed broken bits of the switch.
One thing is certain, replacing it is a major job.
