Yes, please share the solution.  I'd like to know what you figured out.

The problem of the wiring of the switch lied with the switch not making the connections needed. I did a break-down of what wire went where and what setting did what:





After doing this, I worked out what it wasn't doing as needed by the bike:


My solution was to do a slight modification to the "rotor of the switch by relocating one of the contacts so it would change how everything went together:


I then worked out what I needed power to in order to get the lights to do what they were supposed to:


Ignore my messy soldering, it was my first try. LOL! :thumb:
I put a bridge in to run power from the red line (from the battery) to the "dead-end" which now provided power to the "park" mode. In the "Lock" position, no power runs to anything, as the connections that are there are inert because of no power from the battery.

THE TRADE-OFF: The "Park Mode" will now illuminate the headlight, tail-light, and gauges. It was the only solution I could come up with without major modifications to anything.

You don't need parking lights anyway  :cheers:

Not unless you want to make it look pretty in a pic without locking the wheel. A person could add a switch if needed for that, though. LOL! :thumb:
