PS I took the brass plate of the front of the tonneau latch mechanism (3 little Phillips screws). Then you have a clear view of the micro switch. It looks to be opening and closing properly when the lid is shut (No fuse). (It clicks and is clean) I wonder if thats an open switch or a closed switch?
Thank you! More to come 
.
The manuals are not clear. That switch was left out of the chart in the 2008 manual (or it's not called out with the right name). But the convention is that it would be closed when the latch is securely closed.
I base this on how the other switches are always closed to indicate "normal" or "ready to run pump". I may type out a summary of switch positions, I'd need to use my voltmeter and go thru those Im not sure of.
I know:
Top open and divider are closed when ready to run the pump.
Latch retainer (in the windshield frame) is closed when top is up and latched.
Electric trunk lock shows a closed in the "locked' switch when locked; and a closed in the "unlocked" switch when unlocked.
If neither is closed, or both are closed, its an error state and the pump wont run, you get a flashing button and beep.
