Replace clutch switch on a 1993 Suzuki Intruder 1400

So I bought a bike with a…”sketchy” clutch switch. Now it’s dead.

No problem. I soldered the wires because I couldn’t be bothered with the hassle of routing the wires. Upon adding an extra piece of wire so that it wouldn’t come out of the plastic housing holding the switch in place, I think I might’ve bent the wire too much, and by doing so, killed it inside of the insulation. Which is fine. They’re 33 years old and not as flexible any more.

My question(s) are:

Where is it connected? The service manual I have doesn’t cover it at all, and the electric diagram just shows that there’s a connection. Not where it is. Not that it shouldn’t.

Since the wires are routed through the handlebars and then goes off to where they need to be, I’m thinking of disconnecting the wires, tape a shoestring to them, pull the shoestring through, and then do it again with the new wire.
That has to be the easiest and fastest way. Right??

Rebuilt the front brake main cylinder. Changed the plugs. Took it out and got it warm. Can’t wait to get it out on the road and cruise.
