PHil's right on, take apart the center console switches and you'll be golden.
My 91 has the center cluster as a cluster. And it is a total you-know-what when you take it apart. Remove the cluster, go inside, get a nice BIG space to work with LOTS of light: it is totally easy to loose a fiddly-bit doing this.
Also, take it apart like it was a bomb: gently and with really serious attention where everything was and goes. I had a spring fly out and while I was distracted by that sailing past my eye, I tumbled the whole guts into my lap on my less-than-sterile garage floor.
Sand the contacts, to remove the worst, then burnish them with a standard pink pencil eraser. (That "Pink Pearl" eraser from gradeshool days is the finest contact cleaner/polisher ever made.)
You might TRY applying a thing daub of vaseline (petroleum jelly) on the actual contact portions. Be reserved here, we just want to coat the areas that make/break contact. This might buy you some more months.
And before reinstall, use that Pink Pearl to burnish the lugs for the wires before reinstall.
Sorry for prattling-on, the penalties of a free-venue.
Hope this helped
Ben
