Yeah. It stays open even when on the bench. Failed switch. New one is
now mounted on a bracket atop the engine in a little manifold alongside
an oil pressure gauge sender. Won't need to open up the tin for THAT
stupid little part again!

Weather's starting to look crummy. Take the van for one more time and
check it again for leaks, then put the tin on and clamp those now-unused
former ATF cooler hoses shut. Then ready to head out tomorrow for a
camping trip! Woo-hoo!
