Maybe I wasn't clear, I have the grounds covered. It's the other 2 prongs that I am unsure of...

If you have "standard" micro switches, you wire the ground and the NO (normally open) contacts.  Here is a link to this website's menu and you can select the WIRING button on the left frame to get detailed pictures and more info:

Not sure why the individual page doesn't like though.  Regardless, it's easy to pull up and read.

EDIT:  Fixed an error.  I screwed up....  :-[

I think that is NO (normally open) so it closes when you press the switch and passes the ground to the interface. ;)

Yep, you only use the ground and the NO.
