Blinker switch issue

My blinker switch is failing occasionally. If I jiggle it it works.

Doesn't have a problem when I indicate right.

Can I clean the contacts on this or would you recommend a new switch?

If I need to replace the switch, could I use a gen 6 switch on a gen 5? I am sure this would be fine but thought I'd check..

 

Have a read of this thread, see if it helps 14 months on worked for me.

I'll try it tonight..

jiggling the switch gets it working so it is most likely the WD40 will fix it..

 

Fixed it

Thanks for the recommendation. Working fine now (saved me at least $50) for a part I didn't need.
