Saabstalker is right. I picked up a few in the junkyard years ago, so I have backups.
The contacts burn up and also if anything gets spilled it runs down into the tub that is the switch body and stays there corroding the copper.
When new there are three little bars sticking up a bit. Try scraping with a screwdriver blade and you may be able to see them. It won't work well ever again unless they stick up significantly above the plastic floor.
In a pinch you could replace it with a toggle switch, would take a little thinking to get it wired right. But it will never look right.
Any junkyards near you that might have C900s? Or a long-time Saab indy who might have a few on a shelf? Or does Eeuro or Saabparts usa have these?
