Total parts are: 2 plastic case housings, 1 plunger with electrical wiper, 1 spring for the plunger return, 3 electrical track-style paths for the wiper to contact and the electrical connector. Use a small toothbrush and clean off the grit and grime that's in the housing. Then, move to a soft wire brush to de-corrode the electrical traces (the copper bits). Finish up with a pencil eraser. After the electrical contacts are clean, apply a small amount of [[Waterproofing your electrical connections|dielectric grease]] to the traces, the wiper, and inside the electrical connector.
