Classic symptoms of "The Pepsi Syndrome". Go to Radio Shack or any electrical parts place and get some contact cleaner & slip the spray tube nozzle under the switch & give it a good dose. Then slide the switch back & forth rapidly a few dozen times, should take care of it. For recently spilled soda, sometimes water will work, followed by a good blast of compressed air, did that on my window switches last summer & worked well. WD-40 works well also. Sometimes contact cleaner will leave a white residue on the black plastic but Armorall will take care of it.
