Default Kill switch?

05 Fatty. Second time this has happened. Pull to a stop and the engine just quits like I hit the kill switch. (pretty sure I didnt)
Lights on and strong no crank. Cycle the kill switch and it fires right up. I tried jiggling the switch with it running and its all good. Anyone ever replace one? Have to solder it in?
Any thoughts?

That is weird. The best way to check the switch is with a good old fashioned analog(swing gauge) ohm meter to see if there is some resistance in the switch. Digital ohm meters aren't good for checking resistance in switches.
