See I told you I wasn't technical
Anyway, where are these resistors?

Here it is.
Before BREXIT:
- 5620 => 562 ohms times 10 exp 0 = 562 ohms
- 2211 => 221 ohms times 10 exp 1 = 2210 ohms
The microswitch coupling lock:

Ok, so the German (eu) switches are different to ours, I think we've now established that.
This now poses another question; why? Or did they install resistors after a certain date?

These SMD's are a substantial part of all roof microswitches, it doesn't work without it.
Just have a look on your floor or in the garbage of the cut housing.

As the whole block was potted, both resistors were cut out while opening. That can happen very easily.

Not "yet" had a problem with these switches in 12 years, but soon after acquiring the car, i liberally sprayed all the switches and mechanism with some silicone spay.
Is the green part of the switch hard or a rubber boot?

They are quite brittle so will have come off with the resin seems the only optionRobbiZ4 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 7:01 amSame thought.Ole gits rule wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 11:36 pm The solder is still there so really odd that the centre pieces are missing

I would NOT recommend this!
The main problem of these faulty components are cracks in the housings. That will happen regardless what you try to "improve" with any spray. But most sprays will destroy more than expected (i.e. WD40).
Yes, the green parts are rubbers boots.

I have another one, so now i'm going to have to rip that one apart (more carefully admittedly) to see.
Maybe that's why I had to change them?
