Is this the latch you all are using to replace the existing one on the driver side? It says its for a 2012, but I would think its a universal-fit part that will work with my 2011 edge. https://www.parts.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=store.PartInfo&PartNumber=8T4Z7821813A&VehicleID=379034&diagram=MS11545&Title%3D-w%2Fo-key-fob%2Fid-card-LATCH

Thanks for disassembling the latch and switch. I have been looking all over to find a picture of what the actual problem is. I am also an engineer and just replacing a latch without knowing the root cause irks me pretty hard.
