I only have about 4 weeks before they come pick up my household goods to ship them to Germany for me and my bike will go with them. The overall problem is this: There seems to be a lack of charging going on. I went for a long ride (about 1.5 hours with 1 stop), and the battery completely died in the middle of road (luckily I was slowing down anyway) and after 3 hours of charging the bike had charged enough to start but died after a short drive around the block. Testing at the battery showed an output of 12.5V at idle and no change when I revved the engine. Ordered a new voltage regulator, installed it, and today the results are as posted above.

It could be that switch, or could be a bad ground or even a short.
Best thing, with your time so limited, is to first check that switch and the wires attached to it. Male sure they are clean, tight, and the wires have no missing or cracked insulation.
Don't just look at the connections, take them apart and check for corrosion
then reassemble them. Then test the switch itself. It does not 'send a signal',
it interrupts the voltage flow.
Good luck.
