It's got three mounting bolts, and the larger plug (to the gp's and temp sensor) has 7 contact points.
Thanks!!

Yes, you can pull it apart and clean the board/resolder the components.
If it's stuck on just pull the "bucket" off, removing a screw in each of the four corners. Check the solenoid (the thing that moves) and it's contacts. Sometimes water will seep in and corrode on the contacts. They should be smooth. If they're not use a piece of sandpaper or a really fine file to remove any built up corrosion.
If that doesn't work, just get another one. Unless you want to spend the time testing and resoldering each component.
