The switch of the present invention is designed to detect the position of a latch (e.g., a fork bolt or ratchet) in a vehicle. Specifically, a switch is described and claimed which emits a signal indicative of the position of a latch mechanism. In a further aspect of the invention, the switch is in direct engagement with the associated latch (or portion thereof). In a further feature of the present invention, a switch is described and claimed wherein a switch is adapted to emit a signal that provides diagnostic information of the switch and/or the latch to which the switch is associated. In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a switch that in most circumstances will, in the event of a failure of a switch but not of the latching mechanism, emit a signal indicative of this switch failure thus preventing potentially significant repercussions.
