Or having it push to make. Then any break in the cabling, or likely switch failure would trigger the warning. Although I guess it's possible for a switch to fail closed.
If you had two in series, they'd probably have to be push to make anyway
Unless you want to drop in a logic gate.....C

They can fail if you get water ingress on the make contacts. So when the plunger is in the released position the current still wont flow. The downside of a single switch system is that if it has failed then your not going to know unless your sat in the car with the ignition on and bonnet up and looking at the dash.
You would need a logic gate or duel feed to the dash or higher up the harness to the first switch to make a twin switch system work.

Ok, I've found a replacement finally, and it's a nice deal but still over my intended budget
I could do with selling one of my cars soonish now and the wife prefers this one goes, so about £8200 buys it..
Lot nicer than most the project ones that crop up, but high miles of course.
