switches can be burned easily, especially a spst mini or sub mini, I would try another switch and make sure your wiring + or - to middle and then the other to only one of the outside lugs.... I've had good luck with the blue and red switches from radioshack and bad luck with the black ones from ratshack....
good luck........... and try using a small cone tip to solder doesnt seem to transfer as much heat as the chisled tips
