[QUOTE="Mobhit, post: 8328171, member: 641904"] I made a short video showing how I align the gears with the micro switches. The manual shows aligning the gear with the aligning hole in it and the circuit board with a paperclip. If you do it this way you will damage the micro switches because the gear will rotate through the switches backwards, they are made to go only one direction. I am in the process of figuring out why the manual tells you to do it this way but have not had much luck. If anyone knows of a better way to align these gears or knows how to align them with the alignment hole please let me know! Align your Alpine at your own risk!! I am not an expert, this method has worked for me in about a dozen repairs. If you need to get new switches pacparts.com have them for $1.96 each with shipping around $6.00, you will need two and they are both different so be aware of this. There are also many other reasons your faceplate will not open and close correctly, this is just one of them.
