If you're going to take them apart, do it inside a ziplock bag so, if the
parts and pieces jetteson from the housing, they are contained. Be careful
taking the switch out/prying up the fakeola chrome trim...it breaks easily
after having been in our cars in AZ.

I always disassemble them and spray liberally with contact cleaner. Seems
to hold up for 30,000 miles or so like that.

I am asking the group for some collective wisdom about how to get more

for the past 15 years, on each of my three 300D's, I have had to buy a
new
switch.
Usually what happens is that the rocker action becomes sticky, then the
switch literally flies apart into your hand on one of the next cycles.
At nearly a hundred bux a pop from Rusty, it seems to me that there
should
be something from a maintenance standpoint that could be done to get some
more service life out of these switches.
Anyone have some suggestions?
