Then secondly, maybe sample code for referencing the limit switch. ThankS!

A couple of questions, or answers to them, might help:
1) How are the switches connected? For example: Are they connected to the RC Digital input 1, 2, 3 etc.
2) How are you "registering them"? Do you have your own code, or are you using the interrupts associated with the digital inputs?
3) When it sticks, how do you unstick it? Manually or by reseting the controllers?
If you are using the digital inputs, my guess is that the switches are sticking, either by binding of the mechanism, or internally to the micro switch it's self. If you are using your own code to set a flag, the code may not be written to reset the flag once the switch state changes.
Good Luck, and let us know what you find.
