If all else fails, the switch assembly is available on Partzilla for $125. The part number is 37200-13FBO. Good luck.
Thank you Vegas...is there a way to test to see if, after using electrical contact cleaner, its fixed? I feel like there's not. Part of what I am facing right now is the fear of riding out only to get back on later and have it not start. I was so discouraged, after getting it back from the shop, for that same issue to happen so soon. Just makes me gun-shy that I can't count on it working when, like most people, I need it to run (to get to an appointment or to get home to help my wife, etc...).

I love the idea of using something like contact cleaner as a far easier and cheaper strategy than a full replacement.
