Limit Switch Draws Tears

Imagine yourself: 11 hours, 5 programmers, no mentors, 1 fiesty limit switch. The result? 5 programmers suffering a severe mental breakdown.

We are attempting to program a very simple limit switch that will disable a motor when the limit switch circuit is closed. We have wired the two limit switch wires into to the ground and signal connections on input four of the digital sidecar. We are programming in C++ and whenever we attempt to get a signal back from the input it always shows up as equaling one, no matter what we do. Please help us, it seemed so simple when we started 11 HOURS AGO!
