Detectable push-pull-though details for switch pad

A method of determining if a switch pad of a control assembly is properly aligned with a circuit board of a control assembly, the method comprising:

• providing the switch pad with at least one connection member, at least one first contact adjacent the at least one connection member and a flexible dome having a second contact;
• providing the circuit board with an engagement area and a set of third contacts adjacent the engagement area and a set of fourth contacts;
• engaging the switch pad with the circuit board by engaging the at least one connection member with the engagement area of the circuit board;
• electrically connecting the at least one first contact and the set of third contacts;
• and
• sending a current through the set of third contacts to determine if the at least one first contact and the set of third contacts form a circuit.

A control assembly comprising:

• a switch pad having a connection member and at least one first contact at least partially surrounding the connection member, the switch pad further including a flexible dome having a second contact;
• and
• a circuit board having an opening, with the connection member of the switch pad extending through the opening to connect the switch pad to the circuit board, the circuit board including a set of third contacts adjacent the opening and a set of fourth contacts aligned with the second contact of the flexible dome of the switch pad;
• the flexible dome of the switch pad being configured to be depressed to engage the second contact with the set of fourth contacts to electrically connect the set of fourth contacts;
• and
• the at least one first contact electrically connecting the set of third contacts when the switch pad is properly connected to the circuit board;
• wherein the at least one first contact and the set of third contacts form a first circuit for determining if the switch pad is properly connected to the circuit board such that the second contact will form a second circuit with the set of fourth contacts when the flexible dome is depressed.
