    Pretty simple,,,,,undo the two screws holding the two halfs on the bars, remove, blast some electrical cleaner on everthing, a little dob of dielectic grease on switch moving pieces, back together..........but hey, don't be surprised when you find it looks like a forgotten 'science project' in there. Just gonna' have clean things up, along with ALOT of other forgotten preventative maint. would be my guess.

      These can be completely disassembled and cleaned, but pay very close attention to where all the parts go. They're also known for wires breaking off the terminals, but with a bit of care can be reattached.

          ....might add, capture the little spring, or the man-cave will eat it.

            +1 on C.Steve's post. I took a pic of the switch after I ''halved'' it, then tore it apart ( carefully). I then thoroughly cleaned with WD40, and found a wire had come un-soldered from the board, which explained why one side didn't 'blink'. I re-soldered the wire, put everything back together, and wonder of wonders---it works like downtown.
