Using a Tayda breakout board - V+?

I am building a Son of Ben and using a Tayda breakout board for the 3pdt switch.
I found most of the connections fine (In/Out/Ground), as well as power and input/output jacks wiring. I used its LED mounting spot and resistor, and bridged the LED spot on the pcb.
My confusion is with the “SW” hole on the pcb, and the breakout board has one labeled “V+”, in the ‘FX PCB’ section.
Where should these two connect, if at all? As is, the pedal passes signal when bypassed, and when engaged, nothing.
I use my tuner as the test (does it recognize the note or just give the A#\B back and forth like it’s unplugged? Former for bypass, latter for engaged).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ll attach the documentation from Tayda, it just didn’t make it clear enough. Let me know any additional info needed.

Thanks in advance!

SW on PedalPCB boards is the LED switch. Just leave it blank if not using the LED pads on the PCB. Also no need to bridge the led pads either or include the CLR on the board (usually 4K7 but check the schematics first)
V+ is for the positive wire from the DC Jack to power the LED on the breakout board.
 
Thanks for the reply! My confusion was that there are 2 “V+” pads, one in the FX section, one in the DC section.

Looks to me like that would be to send power to your board from that board rather than direct from DC plug
Yep, I used those in some Vero builds. As Barry said, the one circled in red is from the DC jack, and the one circled in yellow is to send power to the board.
 
Then I probably messed something up elsewhere, touching my lead from yellow-circled v+ to pedal’s + results in the power going out immediately, and returning when I remove it.
