The reohstat is very easy to bypass. I tried cleaning mine to no avail. I used a short section of speaker wire to bypass mine. I stripped and twisted the ends and shoved them into the rivet holes. The tension of the bend in the wire holds them in place. I removed the rehostat from the cluster in the picture to try and clean it, but it is not necessary to remove it if all you are going to do is bypass it.
