There is a similar problem on the window switches on the likes of Swedish cars from the 1970s and I have repaired quite a few of these and they always worked afterwards. I remember using a smear of electrical conductive grease on some switches.

Most have small springs and a ball bearing, so this is good advice. Take them apart carefully!
