I've found bench power sources to be invaluable when rewriting cars. Having just finished a 53 Patrician with the electro-hydraulic system, being able to power individual circuits without possibly frying the whole harness was tremendously helpful.

Test the switch on the bench with your multi-meter--usually they just get dirty-- and then move on to testing individual wires with your test light. The good thing is that these systems are relatively simple. I'm sure when you find the problem it'll be something incredibly frustrating and simple.
