Handlebar switches

A couple years ago I swapped out my bars with some Hill Country apes. The apes came pre-wired with switches.

Recently, my right turn signal, start switch, and high beam switches have been intermittent. I usually have to cycle the switch or push it a few times to get it to work.

Is there a way to clean these switches? If so, clean with what? alcohol?

Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance

i've seen that, canned air or that electronics spray in there, the contacts in the housing can get dusty, spider webby and corroded.

Go to an electronics store (like Radio Shack) and get some contact cleaner
