Default Need a STARTER / STOP SWITCH, any help?

Not sure if this is the area for this or not, anyways I believe my starter / stop switch is nearing the end of it's life. As of right now when I apply the brake lever, it "clicks" like normal, but the brake light doesn't come on. I moved the wire around some and the brake light flickers on and off. I step on my foot brake and the light works perfect. I haven't pulled it apart yet to see if maybe it just needs to be re soldered. BUT in case I need to get a new part any suggestions on where I can get the part? I found it online @ cheapcycleparts.com, but if someone knows of any one else that has one laying around or a better place to buy one, hit me up. Thanks!

I've taken apart most of the switches and they're pretty basic. They can be dissassembled fairly easily and the contacts cleaned. They snap together and with a small screwdriver can be worked on.

+1 there's even a how-to in the How-to forum:

I've done the same thing with my rear light switch.
