Power Window Switches (again)

[Ed Kellock]

Not sure PB Blaster is the best stuff to use here.  Contact cleaner would be
more appropriate.  I've also read about drilling a small hole in the switch
to spray into which eliminates the need for disassembly.  Probably 2 holes
would work so there is an exit.

I've got a switch, one out of 21, that needs some attention.  I think I'll
try the hole-drilling method on it.
