I think my switch is leaking air. You can hear it when I turn the motor off. I've played with the hoses, the rubber plug they go into and then mount to the switch. Pretty sure that seal is good.
There doesn't seem to be anyway the switch comes apart to repair it and repo's are going for $300.
Any thoughts?

i am not 100% sure about this. but your switch should leak air after the car is shut off. this allows the flap to close on the hood. their is a solenoid hooked into the switch just for this.
now if it leaks air while the car is running then there is a problem with the switch.
perception is 90% of reality

I have a few of those switches that need that repair. This is commom with these switches having broken hose hook ups.
