Microswitch, soft top cover latch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There are microswitches at each of the soft top cover latches that sense when the cover is in lock position and is ready for locking.

Pin 3 on the left microswitch is connected to control module pin 5 and microswitch pin 2 is connected to grounding point G36.

Pin 3 on the right microswitch is connected to control module pin 33 and microswitch pin 2 is connected to grounding point G36.

When the ignition is turned ON, the control module outputs B+ via a 1 kOhm resistor to the microswitches from pin 5 and 33, and the microswitches close when the soft top cover locks and the control module inputs are grounded.
