best to check which switch you have, you can get them off most same era vauxhalls if the plug is the same.

Might be able to get a few months out of the switch you have if you get stuck by heating the solder contacts. usually down to dry joints.

Bit of an old thread now,

but I find with dry joints, it is best to remove all traces of the old dry solder with a "solder-sucker",

then relace with good fresh new solder.

Just heating a dry solder joint, doesn't remove any contaminant from the soldered joint. Just warming is very hit and miss, and usually the hits are very short lived.
