I'd go with a new switch right off the bat.
Replace all the connectors that go to it as well,(looks like someone has messed with it before as those are not OEM terminals)
Down load the wire diagram for your machine and follow it.
There should be a combo plug terminal on the end of the wires that go on the back of the switch. Chances are, it melted on the PO due to the corrosion and that's why the wiring looks to have been screwed with. Probably the corrosion is what you are dealing with now....again.
Test everything and lube w/some dielectric grease, reinstall nd DON"T let your rig sit out in the elements!!
That's what caused these issues in the firs place.
While you are at it check the relay on the side of the battery box, it can't be in much better shape than the rest of the connectors.
On my 882, it was almost rusted away when I got it.
With my luck, putting something like this off, not doing it right and cobbling something together, most likely will result in the switch being NLA when I do get around to properly dealing with the issue.
Good luck!!
