do kill switches go bad??

[ridered03]

I have a pro design kill switch that I have had for 2 or 3 years and here lately it has been taking a second to kill the bike when you pull the cord, I thought it wasent grounded good enough so I put it elese where now it dosent work at all even if I put it back where it was. Is it shot or what?????

They get full of mud and won't make contact! Try snapping it a few times by pulling and letting go.

I have tried that, I have taken it apart cleaned it , cleaned all the contact areas and still nothing.

I had a pro design go bad on my bike, best I remember it wouldn't start and I just disconnected the wire and it started right up.
