I can definitely hear the microswitches clicking when I operate my doors (right before the handle actually engages the latch mechanism.
In my experience, Maytag is correct about the latch switch being problematic (this one you can't hear, since it activates at the same time the latch actuates). I made a post somewhere about repairing this switch with some hot glue and heat shrink (still holding up fine).

In regards to the light not turning on: I feel as though I have heard this is often correlated with an immobilizer problem, but that is generally correlated with water exposure.
