You can test the replacement switch by putting an ohmmeter across the terminals. Then push on the internal switch part to verify that the switch closes. Here's Brook doing that:

Re: R90/6 stop light switch question
When using the brake lever to create pressure and get the fluid to flow out the bleeder, avoid going full-pull on the lever. Since you're not servicing the bore, you could run the inner seals across areas of slight pitting which will tear the seal. You basically want to pull the lever the same amount you do on normal stops...probably about half way. I tape a small thickness of wood onto the grip to limit the travel of the lever. Takes a little longer to push the fluid out, but safer.
Plus you get to pump up your arm muscles more and get ready for the new switch!!
