You may rock your switch on-off several times to get back its functionality and self contact clean out.
If problem persists, may need to take further simple action, like internal inspection/servicing/resistance measurements.....to confirm the problem and successful fixing.
I mostly use my kill switch, along with the ignition.

I waited until I got home from the rally and then tried what peterbaron suggested. After rocking it back and forth 10 or more times, it no longer is a problem.

Before I wash (power) my bike, I always wrap up switches and grip pappies with soft plastic bags that prevent any handlebar mounted switches from water intrusion = no worries later. 0.02

Glad you got it sorted. I like free fixes.
Good seeing y'all again this week. Be safe and have fun!

Good job Rick, well thought out move that will help other users here and thanks for the conclusive feedback, i will use your "rock and roll" advice in the future, watch that moisture in the controls
