Hello All
I recently had trouble with my navigation light rocker switch on the old faux wood type switch panel. I have a 99 GW 225 Tournament.
I went insane looking the exact match on the internet. However, I took the switch off and cleaned the contact surfaces inside the switch. It is really not hard. But don't do as I did. I took it out from below, from under the panel. i.e. another words I separated the switch from the actuator and pulled the switch out past all the wires. And I lost one of the pins from the DPDT toggle. Its best to take the switch out from above. Lay it out on clean face and just pull the tabs to release the actuator from the bottom half of the switch. For a double pole, double throw type switch there are on-off-on positions. One of the pins which sits on the toggle had dropped down and I couldn't find it. I ended up buying a 1/8" diameter Nylon rod from Ebay and made my own pin. Let me know if you have trouble.
Have a try with "Doxit D100l electric terminal cleaner." Just got turned into this product. The product is amazing for cleaning corrosion on electrical connections. Never seen anything like it . Been using 3M and CRC products for years and never got terminals cleaned unless I used a small flat filero sandpaper. Hope this helps someone. I bought the d100l with the brush.
