Right again Scott,
I function checked the switch which is on the panel and it worked fine.  

I pulled the squat switch sensor out and pressure checked it with bubble solution on the outside of it and it is indeed leaking.  I sealed it with some permatex but that's only a short term fix.

Part number on this switch is 45569-01250, no manufacturers name is visible.  so now I'm trying to find a replacement.

thanks for the help.
