if the switched fail, then no power should be going to anything.
if you ran current through the switch(use a relay) and it arched or welded itself, then the nitrous could have been on with the throttle closed.

kinda vauge post. hard to say. if the motor is running, id say everything is fine.
change the plugs and change the oil and see what happens.

Do hope you have a wet kit, if you have a dry kit i would definately do the following what TJ said I would also recommend you to adjust your toggle switch cause maybe its getting stuck somehow to stay on.

A window switch would kinda help as long as you knew you wot switch was bad.
