I took the old micoswitch out, it got damaged during that process.I cut off some of the cable from that microswitch so now I see two wires coming from the plug. I couldn't get to the plug in the harness since it is at a tight place. I may need to cutoff some zipties and unwrap the cloth harness etc to get to it. Now I read that the plug may not be compatible. If that is the case maybe soldering to those wires may be an option. My new switch is made in 2022 and the old Switch is made in 2013. It is the same version and model. But plug may be different. The old microswitch has shorter mounting rods than the new switch. I tried to fit the new one into the holes the old one came out to check fit but it was too tight to align. Something in the front was blocking it. I may have to shorten those mounting rods. Also when I manage to put the new switch in those holes, how is it fixed there? Glue or Melting those plastic rods with soldering gun or micro torch?
