You could try spraying in some WD40, should help.

 

Don't use some types of 'switch cleaner' as in the past I used some on a switch and it melted the plastic casing, so after that I test out any new cleaning product on an old item first.

if you got a meter you could check from the base of the switch to wherever the wire ends up on the main engine block etc. see if you got 0.00 ohms continuity. or from base to cover if no wire. might find where your fault is. g'luck!
