I thought the switch broke the circuit with the bonnet down. ??
The warning can pop on if the bonnet isn't set at the right level. The adjuster buffers usually fix that.

That is correct AFAIK.... ;) Leave the wires unconnected :duh::D Or replace with a new switch, cheap enough ;)

Exactly so. The result is 'bonnet open'. Separate the wires, 'bonnet shut'.
