If the switch isn't waterproof, and has an opening of some kind into the interior, you can use a couple of CRC products. First spray contact cleaner into the switch, preferably onto the contacts if they're accessible, exercise the switch a couple dozen times
to wear off the corrosion, let it dry, and then spray in 2-26, which is an electrical contact lubricant/protectant. This should slow down the oxidation process on the contacts. Test with a meter to verify the switch is operating normally again.</div>

wiring diagram to see if that could possibly work. Probably not.</span><br>
