John,

You can check the Micro-Switch by using the Alarm. Put something into the Switch, as the latch would, something like a pencil eraser, a golf tee, anything to activate it. This will activate the IR Motion Sensor when you lock the Car with Top down. Lock the Car, wait the obligatory 10 sec. 'til it arms and then reach over the window and wave your hand around the interior. If the Alarm sounds, the Micro-Switch is good, because it activated the IR Sensor. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
