Thank you for your reply the switches are encased in the end section i will attatch a picture but taking it apart doesnt help with the view there is a singular wire going to 2 switches the white on the left is the only one i need to work the second goes to a blue row of Leds which are not important.

Make/model? Have you tried the manufacturers website for a board schematic?

This was my first call, the part number returns no results as its a chinese ebay special.

Probably get shot for this but email someone like bigclivedotcom, he's always taking Chinese specials apart, might be able to help you.

Just replace the whole unit for a suitable driver.
Do you know what type of leds they are?

Are they in a strip?
Do you know the voltage or current rating?

multiple strips but the 4 i want are wired to the one switch it is 15v 1.2amps.

If you can identify the + & - I would be inclined to replace the touch controls with a 12v driver
