not knowing what’s wrong I assume you broke the actuator part on lever side. those can be bought for next to nothing... I fucked mine years ago when I was dumb enough not to use the manual when doing something for the first time
. I did the research and found correct, but I suppose everyone selling Big Dog parts have those. Sorry I don’t remember the details of the actuator and have given the extra ones away...If it’s the part on “the body” of the control, I suppose you could buy the whole switch, leave a tail on board and carefully solder the wires. Don’t really remember how much room there is, but soldering directly to board would not be my first option. Unless you really know how to solder into the board without fucking the whole thing.
edit. good timing Shannon

Man, I JUST replaced mine yesterday night and should have taken pics. That set screw is fing tiny. Once you pull the entire assembly off the bars you'll see the screw under where the reed switch goes into the brake assembly. It's about the size of .7mm mechanical pencil lead. Just a suggestion, don't do what I did......test the brake lights BEFORE you get it all back together. I had to pull the entire thing back off the bike for a small adjustment because my stupid azz didn't check it before hand,
That being said, it's so fing nice to have all the control buttons on the bike working, effortlessly, without 2-3 failed attempts and pressing super hard on the buttons to get them to do anything. I used to spend more time trying to use a turn signal than making the turn.
