Default 37 brake light switch

The brake light switch has been acting in a very spotty way. It seems like there is corrosion on the wiring. I used tuner cleaner on the switch, and it is fine now. Is there something you can spray in there to help the switch keep going? This rebuild is only a couple of years old. It seems odd that such an important switch would fail so soon.

Thanks

You might want to try "ES grease". It is made by Lubriplate. I think you can get it at McMaster Carr. The es stands for electrical switch. Bruce

Or LPS #1 is a spray lubricant. I use it on electrical contacts, rheostats and locks. It does not attack rubber, plastic or paint and dries. The problem MAY be just the plunger hanging up in the brass bushing (If you have NOS switch) aftermarket switch does not have the bushing.
