Ryan, there are many types of pressure switches out there, and they do not all go back together the same way.

I don't have access to a schematic. I am posting your question though, inviting other readers to post if they can help you out.

Cheers,

Bill

 Switch is spring loaded.

A little late but if the switch is the one I have in mind, it is more a puzzle to put together. You just have to look at it closely. You will have to put some pressure to get it all to seat so you can reinstall in the housing. If you look at the sides of the assembly you have out, you should see a couple notches. My guess is that is where some wire or line held it together until it was screwed back in place. If you use zip ties properly, you will be able to hold it together until screwed in place and then cut the zip ties and pull them out. That's all I got. I know how to put together but it's difficult to explain.

No, that's all I got.
