What does an interlock monitor switch do in a microwave oven?

In general, the interlock monitor switch in a microwave oven is the switch that shorts the line out (knocking out the internal fuse) in a microwave oven if the door interlock switch stays shut when the door is opened. The interlock monitor switch is the monitor for the door interlock switch. Let's look at things more closely and see what that means.The door interlock switch opens when the door opens, and this prevents the oven from coming on when the door is not shut. That way no one gets zapped. Simple. The door interlock monitor switch will close when the door opens, but this switch closes after the door interlock switch opens. The interlock monitor switch does nothing if everything is working properly.In the case of a door interlock switch that has suffered an arc and the contacts become welded shut, that switch will remain shut when the door is opened. This might allow the oven to run with the door open. But if this happens, the interlock monitor switch, which will shut when the door opens, will short the line if the door interlock switch remains closed when the door opens. This will knock out the line fuse and "kill" the unit. If any microwave oven presents with a blown line fuse, one of the mandatory checks must be the door interlock switch and the door interlock monitor switch.

How do you bypass the parking brake for an after-market in-dash DVD player?

Disabling the parking brake interlock for in-dash DVD players is against the law in many jurisdictions. The interlock is there as a safety feature and should not be adjusted in any way. The interlock is a safety feature to avoid distracting a driver while driving. However in some older vehicles it is necessary to attach the parking brake wire to a switch to ground. The switch is to maintain legality as one cannot watch a movie while driving.


Where is the Clutch Interlock Relay or Safety Switch for a 1992 Nissan Pathfinder and can you by pass it?

The clutch interlock switch is located under the dashboard and is similar if not identical to the brake light switch. you will find it where the clutch pedal extends to the furthest down position under the dash. It prevents you from starting the vehicle without depressing the clutch thus preventing starting up in gear, its a safety issue if someone is standing in front of you when you do it you will run them over, but if you need to just cross the wires.
