Default Neutral switch?

Hey people, have a strange thing going on with my bike and was hoping to get some help. First off the bike is a 2002 Softail Standard, FXST. I put the chrome tranny top cover on this past fall. Don't know if that has anything to do with the problem but I wanted all the info out there. When I shift it to neutral the light comes on the dash like normal, but it also comes on in fifth gear. Took the switch off the top tranny cover to replace and wouldn't you know, no dealer in the state of CT. has one!! So I've ordered one but was wondering what everyone else thinks it could be. Thanks
