You can check the switch with a multi meter , but it sure would help to have the correct wiring diagram handy. Someone posted some excellent diagrams recently . I would be inclined to have a good look at the relavent fuse before the switch ,as you have no headlights or sides makes me think there is no power going to the switch.

The Clockwork Orange schematic wiring diagrams can be found on the A400MOD Tickford site:
http://www.a400mod.com/Fuses.htm

As they are particularly useful it might be beneficial to save a copy to your hard drive for quick reference.
