Does anyone have bypass directions for a lid switch?

I have a Whirlpool Washer Model LSQ8543JQ1 and it has stopped draining, rinsing and spinning. Several people have directed me to the Lid Switch and at first, I thought they might be incorrect because I bypassed it.

I was told in another forum that I definitely needed a Timer Switch but after trying 3 different ones, nothing is any better.

I didn't think it could be the Lid Switch because after replacing it 3 times, I just bypassed it. It has been about 4 or 5 years since I bypassed it and am now wondering if it has somehow jostled loose or became disconnected. After replacing 3 switches, I have approached almost 1/2 the price of the original cost of the machine. I have also replaced the motor and now, the Timer Switch 3 times with no change in performance.

I am the only person using this machine and do not abuse it ~ it seems that the lid switches are too fragile and too expensive to keep replacing. I understand the safety implications and choose not to keep replacing them.

Since it has been such a long time since I bypassed the switch, I want to check my bypass to make sure it is correct.

Thank you for your help!
