An Update: (sorry I almost forgot to let you guys know) I pulled out my awning switch, looked to see if it could be taken apart. I didn't see how it could, it appears to be sealed. I did clean up the tabs on it and applied some dielectric on the connectors. Tested it, it works with no apparent issues, I put it all back together. So far so good.
Oh, BTW Pete, it's been more RAINING here than sunny. Just like you had!
Thanks for the help.
