Yes, the switch is making contact. Perhaps it should make contact in a different position?

does the idle switch make contact at idle       ?
 does it click when you just barely open the throttle by hand, at       the engine, ( engine off  ) ? It should. 
 if it doesn't do that, it's likely not making contact.  I've       probably done that repair at least 100 times on waterboxer       vanagons with the swtich on the bottom of the throttle body. 

 'most' on 2.1's don't after this many years of operation.
 I'd venture to say upwards of half of 2.1's ( and 85 1.9's with       the later style 'underneath' throttle switch are not making       contact at idle.

Cool. I'm still working out the possible reasons for my idle sitting at 2000rpm. I cleaned the Idle valve (which has been unplugged and taped up by previous owner) to no avail. Another one is being posted as we speak but if the problem is in the module, it would be good to know and figure out how to fix it. The modules are a bit costly so i hope it is not that.

But.....I've read of 2.1 engines installed in Digijet Vanagons. The ownerkeeps the Digijet system adapting it to the 2.1 This may be true theother way around (1.9 with Digifant) but far less likely.Neil.
