I don't think spraying any type of cleaner is good for it. I would, like the Windstar forum says, to spray the compressed air into it. Solvents or cleaners may damage it further. I'm sure somewhere there are values for it (I do believe it to be a variable resistor), and I got something like 60 ohms across the board. I should have written down the specific values. I'll take a look around and see if I can find anything. Too bad that wasn't the case!
