I took the switch apart last night. It reminded me why buying a new switch, and not futzing around trying to fix the old one, makes sense. When you clean up the contacts, you invariably sand off the plating. The resulting "fix" lasts maybe three months and then you are stuck yet again. Now that FCPGroton and others have cheapie aftermarket switches for around $12, repairing them makes no sense.

And my "perfect" cars? In winter, I tend to let things slide since my unheated garage is like Stalingrad. The first warm weekend in the Spring is spent on the cars.
