These Micro Switches can be fixed !!! I removed the switch, released the two from the bracket and used a small 1/8" bit to drill a hole into each side of the Switches. Of course you have to be very careful not to drill to deep, just enough to break thru the side of the switch.Spray a bit of WD 40 into a small container, use a tooth pick and dip it into each switch, Use your Brain on how much. That’s it, put it back together and you have saved $$$$$

I agree anything most likely can be fixed if you can get it apart. For cleaning switch internals I wouldn’t recommend using DW-40. Contact cleaner, which can be sourced at most of the box building supply stores, is the spray of choice.

Thanks for the update. Whatever it takes, if it can be restored to operational status big $$$ can be saved. The real difficulty come in reinstalling the switch. Only want to do that ONCE ! ! ! !

Happy Motoring,
