Windlass foot switch not working

[The lyons den]

2021 r23 with less than 100hrs
Recently my “up”foot switch stopped working. Just to be clear, the rocker helm switch works and the foot switch “down” work fine. Large windlass breaker behind helm has not tripped.
I checked the wiring at the switch and all wires are firmly attached and water tight. At this point I assume the switch is bad but wanted to see if anyone else has encountered this problem before I start buying parts.

I assume the switch. You can double check by using wire piecing probes on both wires coming from switch and jump it out.

Not sure about the switches Fluid Motion uses, but typical bow switches are pretty easy to repair/clean. If the spring is still operational you can clean up the contacts, spray CorrosionX, or equivalent on the contacts, and it may get to good as new.
