Are you sure yours is bad? I am not sure of the wiring colors but I have one from a 1984 380SL that I can post the colors of the wires connected to it. The wiring diagram should provide which is power and ground to it.
There are a few threads on disassembling these, polishing the contacts up a bit, cleaning and greasing them. They should last forever if they are occasionally greased/cleaned.
The ones that go electrically "bad" are usually on the console and go bad from stuff falling into/spilling into them - not the ones on the dash. I'd be very suspect of things OTHER than the switch.
I know this thread is a little old but thought I'd ask - did you manage to find a place that still sells them?
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
