I test switches with an electrical multi meter and I often do so before I bypass anything. Often using the ohms setting if the switch reads 0 it's fine. If it reads infinity in the on position it's shot and I will check a switch before I send 1 if necessary.
Usually I don't personally bypass the switch without using my electrical multi meter because I have discovered a bad switches using it. | ||

Yeah it's probably a bad switch because the strange thing from last week and yesterday is that when I connect the cord to the switch and plugged it in, one part the electrical breaker went off. 😐 | ||

Some of the switches that I have seen have sparked when you turn on the vacuum or turn off the vacuum.
If you have to toggle several times to get it to turn on or off the switch is definitely going bad. My guess is this is what happened to your switch. It also looked like a bare wire in the picture in your previous post. | ||
