Was the replacement s/stand switch a new unit, or secondhand from a breakers / ebay? It's not impossible for a "new" part to be faulty. (Rule #1 when fault finding - don't leave a part out of a fault finding sequence just because it's newly fitted). Further, a new switch is worthless if the wiring to / from it is damaged; heat, vibration and chemical attack can cause havoc in electrical systems. Wires can "break" internally which isn't easily seen (leading to momentary "on" / "off" as the wire moves with vibration; now it works, now it doesn't). If you haven't got one, a digital multimeter is your best friend at times like these, and needn't be expensive either.
Your reg/rec is part of your charging circuit, and a failed one can kill a battery.
Out of interest, how old was your old battery?
