Turn Signal Switch = Bane of My Existence

[brizbot]

Hi Fellow 250ers

I'm currently pulling my hair out because I can't get my left hand turn signal to illuminate on the turn indicator or the signals themselves. It flashes for a secon and then nothing...
I have cleaned the switch itself thoroughly and checked the fuse. When I take the switch apart and touch the terminals it works pretty well.

Any suggestions?

Has anyone swapped out the switch for another kind? These things seem very cheaply made...

Thanks for any ideas
