Seems the micro switches die alot because they don't carry enough current to keep the contacts 'clean' -- I know this applies more to AC, but as an example I put LEDs in my bike's taillight years ago. They were the socket-type drop ins, and I had real problems with them flickering or not working at all, until I hardwired them. Figured out that there just was not enough flow there and the slightest corrosion was causing a broken circuit.

Now even under ideal conditions the switches seem iffy, add some salt, sand etc to the equation and.......
