Aerosoft CRJ700 APU - Saitek Switch panel

Hello
I wonder if somebody might be able to assist me with a slight problem I am having programming the 'Avionics Master' switch on the panel for switching on and off the APU. The script I am using is shown below:

Switch ON - Set ASCRJ_APUPWRFUEL (LVAR) to 1
Set APU_DOOR_POS (LVAR) to 25
Set ASCRJ_APU_STARTSTOP (LVAR) to 1

Switch OFF - Set ASCRJ_APU_STARTSTOP (LVAR) to 0
Set ASCRJ_APU_PWRFUEL (LVAR) to 0
Set APU_DOOR_POS (LVAR) to 0

Although the APU doors open and the APU switches on, when I switch off, the APU will correctly close down but the APU door remains open and will only close if I then move the switch to ON again - thankfully without the APU coming on again.

I have used the SPAD monitor to see the APU_DOOR_POS (LVAR) 'Number' change from 0 to 25 for ON so I think I must be using the right criteria but perhaps something is missing?

If anybody could help, it will be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Maybe try putting a delay In so that it can wait a bit before sending the door event?
