Don't monkey around over cleaning the switch(es) - just do it. It's not difficult. The external connections are rarely the problem - it's the inside contacts that need attention. Remove the two plastic plugs in the armrest and remove the screws underneath. Pull the armrest away from the door a bit--just enough to push the switch assembly sideways out of the armrest - don't try to just pry it upward. Disconnect the the wires and bring the assembly to the bench-or kitchen table. The switches pry apart and then go back together just one way - pay attention to detail (the slots that guide its reassembly). -- Dave
