Thanks Klaus. Sounds like good advice to me. I thought further after I posted (I am a bit sluggish in the brain, and go on visual clues only sometimes), and it occurred to me that what I thought I saw in a YT video was not as it seemed. The guy pulled the round black end off the left side of the switch, leaving what I thought were contacts that make/break. Looking at a picture of the switch, those look like connector pins now - something like the bottom of a vacuum tube. The switch is inside the metal housing. So the "servicing" I thought I can do is probably not possible - it is likely sealed. Haven't pulled it yet.

I appreciate the tip on the location of the additional relay, if I need to go there! Yes, the screws on the clamshell are easy on the S70 compared to the 850.
