Pop the switch out, unclip the black cover, remove rubber covering to expose the PCB, switch cleaner sprayed on the the "gold" circular contacts on the PCB and the rubber covering, re-assemble and you might be lucky

Failing that cut down a kitchen cupboard bump stop pad to about 3mm diameter and sick it on the top of the soft rubber contact pad beneath the switch this improves the switch push on the contacts. It worked for me  :y

The motors themselves seem to be robust, so I'd say switchpack or damaged loom.
