Did you check that your brake switch is a 4-pin one (and if manual will need clutch switch also)

Was the switch itself 4 pin? You need to unplug it to check it.

Back on topic, ensure its the 4 wire stalk, and flying lead plugged in.

Also, check bowden cable is free to move, and properly attached to throttle
