Default Another WD40 miracle!

Chopper, 4 spd.
I have 2 idiot lights on a tiny mount under my speedo. Oil and Neutral. The neutral was only lighting up when I pulled up on the shifter to the stop just before 2nd gear. After checking the ratchet adjustment, I pulled the neutral switch out, cleaned and grounded it and the light came on. Tried several ways to clean the seat with Qtips, didn't work. As a last shot I reached for the trusty WD, squirted a little in and installed the switch, connected it, shifted up and down a few time, hit neutral.
Voila! I now have a neutral light!
(not sure why, don't GAS!
