Sansamp BDDI programmable switch sticks on...bent?

[murphy]

I have babied this pedal....but switch number 3 is stuck down....It loosens if I twist it and it pops back up.
Took pedal apart, but cannot see how to replace the offending footswitch.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The best thing to do is get some DeOxit or electronic tuner spray and use a Q-tip and clean the shaft of the actuator. It's best to have us replace it if need be as the part is machined in and not very easy for an end user to replace.

Thanks for your reply.
It looks that it might the shaft is a bit bent ...where it sticks in that position.

How it ever happened...baffles me? But s...t happens

That's unusual, it's easy enough for us to replace or if you're handy and can knock it out you could replace it with an aftermarket foot switch. Switch - Actuator for B.O.B.
