Definately do what Mark suggested, it seems you have power at the switch but it shouldn't be sparking across to the pedal Sounds like the switch is fooked and is shorting out internally.

its a sil item from beedspeed, which replaced the marshmellow scootrs one.. the sil item is quite well made considering!!!!!

does light work if you touch switch wires together

kicked her over, lights on, then touched the two wires NOTHING

the switch is fine then i take it?

Not very good with electrics, but what would the next step be?

check wires with multimeter?

i take it the brown wire is ok as this feeds the back light, it must be the pink wire i take it...

any takers..
