Default Hand Control Ribbon Broke !!!

While installing new 12 bars on a 2014 Street Glide Special. I broke then ribbon on the right side controls. The left controls work perfect, I am assuming after the ribbon broke, this is the reason nothing works on the right side. Looking to replace both with the lighted controls. Can anyone confirm this will fix my problem??

Any suggestions greatly appreciated,
Anthony

OK, so if i just replace the controls we should be ok??? I am thinking of getting the lighted ones from Harley and replacing both. First time doing bars myself and I knew I shouldn't have done it. . . . I just want to confirm prior to purchasing them.

Thank You,
Anthony

We cannot confirm that replacing the switch will fix the problem.

We have no way of knowing if the broken ribbon is the only thing wrong.
