it sounds like when they tried to get it that they damaged the internals on the switch(the parts that supply power to the componets lost). as for the key light, check your service manual, or the dealer. one thing to check before ya get too many miles on it is make sure the battery is being charged. that circiut may have been damaged also

I would also recommend a Harley Davidson switch. I have had a lot of bad luck with the aftermarket replacements. They seem to go bad a lot quicker.
