KitchenAid KUDK02CRBS4, wont turn on, no lights etc..

I picked up this dishwasher early this week, model #KUDK02CRBS4 the gentleman said it just seemed to have quit working in between loads. The control panel has no lights etc.. I took the initial first step and replaced the thermal fuse along with the wires, it did not fix it. I started playing with the door latch and was able to get a distinctive click then what sounded like a motor or pump started. I pulled the door latch mechanism out and was able to replicate what I had heard by pressing in the small white piece of plastic on the switch, however would not do it every time, it was hit and miss. I'm fairly certain the door switch is the issue, but would like a second opinion.

Pull the door apart and check for 120vac between p4 and p8 with the door closed. If you have it then then the door switchs are good.
