Thanks guys,
Azinn, I can't seem to access the link you sent. Photobucket asks me to log in as you
Autobahner, I read that post, and am not sure what the microswitch is or looks like. I was hoping not to have to destroy the grill (it's an ML55 silver grill

), but I may have to. I will try posting a reply to that thread, though the last post was 2002
I will let you know how it goes today or tomorrow. can't believe this happened
