I'd squirt a little penetrating oil on the pin connection, as well, before attempting to drive it out, using the appropriate sized drift pin.

In my opinion, the entire mechanism, including the controller, should be enclosed in an effort to keep it clean and protect it from road debris. But to my knowledge, no manufacturer has done so. -Paul

Was wondering if you might have a viable p/n for the magnetic switches? I am having the same issue on my 2017 Ventana 4369. It works then it doesn't then, by FM, it works again...

Are you sure its the magnetic switch? Maybe a bad ground? Or even the controller (which it was in my case).
