Thank you for the clarification,
Typically the cheap plating on spades due to enviro rules cause early demise, even worse if left outside or exposed to water from washing, etc. as mentioned.
I'll bet the corroded spade was the lead to the battery, as is typical.
I would suggest you replace the plug assy, they are inexpensive on evil pay,
IIRR six maybe $10.
And get a new switch of your choosing.
That should get you many years service,especially if you use dialectic grease paying attention to the female connectors in the plug.
Even just chassis grease is better than nothing.
Now as far as the broken off key, sometimes ones fat #14 shoe connects with the fragile key entering/exiting the tractor seat in an mad dash for the commode in a dire situation
BTDT Ha,LOL
Actually, sometimes a small tweezers or needle nose pliers will extract a broken off key.
Keep us in the loop, happy fixin'
