Neutral Safety Switch

I have a 1990 Chaparral 2050SL with a Mercruiser 4.3 and I think the Neutral safety switch is bad. I have had no luck finding a replacement switch or how to fix it. ANY and ALL advice is appreciated!!!
 
Take the controls apart and post some pics of the switch. There may be a aftermarket switch that will work. Did you jump the wires to see if that is the problem?
 
I will take some pictures tonight. I did not try and jump the wires. I am not very strong in dealing with electricity, hahaha!!! I will post pictures up later tonight or tomorrow. It's really weird because sometimes it starts up right away and other times I have to mess with the handle.
 
The control box may just need a bit of maintenance.....grease dries up and, with a bit of dirt, can cause all sorts of interesting behaviors.
 
What kind of grease do you put in there? I am new to this type of problem.
Any how-to videos or information is appreciated.
