Thanks doug. It didn't look dirty when I took it apart and blew it out, it
fixed it.

Rubbing alcohol is a terrible electronics cleaner, too much other stuff
in it in addition to the isopropyl. Best cleaning is with a chamois
stick and isoproply or one of the other head cleaners. Should be
available in fairly small bottles at nearest rat shack or other
electronics store. MIGHT be able to get it clean enough without
disassembly by using a spray tuner cleaner followed by a blast of
duster. The switches themselves tend to be very small and rather easy
to lose some tiny part, so spray clean is recommended unless the OP is
very good with small mechanical parts and can de-solder and resolder
then remove all flux properly [left over flux tends to be a big source
of later failures]. The switches also have a bad habit of cracking
loose from their mounts, again resoldering fixes. Really not enough
voltage or current to keep a mechanical switch's contacts clean or burn
thru minor corrosion--the hall effect or simple magnet sensor types are
much better, although they also get cruddy and benefit from careful
cleaning with isopropyl or other electronic cleaner followed by careful
blow dry to remove all residue.
