RS Headlight Switch Testing/ Refurb

[clm69z28]

Is there any way of testing the RS headlight switch to make sure that the dimmer and other circuits are intact? And is there any acceptable method of cleaning or refurbishing the switch? Thanks.

This is a product I have used with success. I have also Un-crimped the zinc potmetal bodied hard case switches from 67/68 cars & kickdown with limited success. Disassembled, removed crusted grease and burnished (Polished sliding contacts) using craytex rubber abrasive stick (Heck a pencil eraser works also.)

Then just used an OHM meter to check continuity across terminals when closed & opened.
