I sprayed Deoxit on the switch a year ago and it didn’t work.  My point is this time I sprayed a whole bunch of it in the switch and it seems to be working.

It's actually more sealed up than it looks. My v7-2 is working for 7000 miles with just a big flushing spray. The v7-3 that I took apart was still working when I parked it for the winter in Dec. Knock on wood!

I use CRC (?) Contact Cleaner on things like this. My KitchenAid mixer switch needs a somewhat regular treatment as do my boat trailer electrical connectors.
