Hi Guys.

I recently re-assembled one of the B-Models of the Scanner Truck (barcode Multi-Set:
8479). Howeve, both touch-sensors that I got are not responsive anymore.

I opened up one of them, but the inside kinda confuses me. The yellow button
you see on the outside pushes against a black rubber thing, that on its turn
pushes on two contact plates. However: A rubber pushing on two plates that are
next to each other doesn't make sense and obviously can't make contact.

First I assumed there was supposed to be another metal part to make a connection.
Maybe that it fell out while disassembling.. Yet I searched carefully and could
not find anything. There also doesn't really seem to be place for a part
like that (there is nothing that could hold it).

Can maybe anybody help me on how this part is supposed to work so I can maybe
fix it?

Do you have a picture of the "black rubber thing" ?
