I missed this one earlier ....

When I bought my 91 350 SDL, the driver's switch was very sticky and within a few months stopped working.

Swapped switch with rear seat switch (they were identical) and was getting ready to buy a new one when I noticed it was possible to disassemble it .. pulled it apart - WAY COOL SWITCH! "Retentioned" the spring, cleaned it well and lubed with extremely light oil - looked like there might have been a bit of coffee in the switch! Still working 4.0 in the back seat - it gets about 0.05% of the use.
