Yes the switch is just to tell if the mesh was cut or any mesh on the bale but if it is not tripped the monitor will not reset.. The monitor is putting mesh on the next bale but just not the amount you want. So the alarm is not sounding because it actually cuts the mesh and there is mesh there. I went through this on one a few years ago. Drove us nuts as it was totally random when it would miss a bale. In shredded corn stalks missing a bale is a real mess. On that baler I blew the micro switch out and it worked then. There are external springs in that micro switch, they are under the arm with the roller. They get dirt/dust in them and then the switch does not work correctly. That switch is an OLD JD part. They where used on the old style JD 200 series Flex heads for the header control.
Every step has to complete or the monitor will not reset all of the time. IT is rare for a monitor to fail in the way you are having problems. They usually just totally quit.
