OK, I found out what happened...my dumb azz put the red clip in wrong, and it held the microswitch open too far for 3 days...the 14 year old metal spring, which was already worn out, just does not have the strength to close the switch now.

Cool thing was, I found a German original on Amazon, of all places!!!

Amazon Visor MicroSwitch - OEM

Thanks to my Prime membership, I will have it in two days and it was half the price of the dealer, which would have taken just as long....
