And then this guide to refurbing switches:

I haven't gotten around to the window switches, I started with the hazard and then cleaned one other from the console before having to put it all back together for a bit. But the switch refurb pictorial did help in general (some pics are fuzzy, but you can get the idea)
Good luck!
