cover and lifting off.

Replacement of the new reed switch is done by cutting the wire off the new reed switch about
60mm (2.4") from the reed switch, stripping the wire back about 10mm (0.4"), stripping the old
reed switch wiring back about 10mm (0.4"), and after sliding heat shrink onto the wires,
soldering the new reed switch to the old wiring, making sure both connecting wires are not
shorting but are insulated with heat shrink sleeving. Take care not to leave too much excess
wire, as the read switch must be able to be fitted back into the housing.
