Side stand switch does nothing

[unfazed]

This for UNFAZED...
the switch is definitely working. The two wires from the connector (black and blue/yellow) disappear into the loom.
I see under the seat someone has opened the loom, there is a lump of taped off wiring...and two red/blue wires going to a 10amp fuse labelled PARK.
I,m inclined to leave all as is...sidestand switch not operating is not too important,,,,

Therein lies your problem, looks like someone disconnected an alarm and taped up all the wires, but earthed the side stand switch wire.

Untape the wires and see how good the connections are inside. Post a picture, it is not the most difficult thing in the world to check the wiring if you can use a meter to check for continunity.
You only need to leave the sidestand down once  :eek :'(
