Jay,
If you have a can of contact cleaner I would suggest spraying every
electrical part that has to carry any juice.

I pulled apart my ignition switch. It was pretty easy. As indicated,
just
pry out two of the points on the can that are pressed in, hold towel to
finger
to stop bleeding from screwdriver slipping out of indentation point and
into
the finger, put switch in vice, lightly clamping around nut, and finish
last
indentation point.
Put in key, press ice pick in hole in side to release lock barrel.
Pull apart.
The switch is much more beefy than I expected. It has a strong spring and
is
built of large, thick metal for contacts. I'm actually kind of surprised
that
it has any issue. But, I've cleaned it up and sanded all the contacts. I
basically put a piece of fine sandpaper in between each of the three
contact
points and rotated the sandpaper back and forth, and rotated the contact to
each of the three positions to get each one. This probably makes no sense
unless you have one open in your hands. I was thinking of dremel, but
none of
my attachments are small enough to fit in there.
I'm also cleaning and sanding the tabs out the back that the wires attach
to.
