I have my original TS switch on the bench. The 6 tabs with incoming wires all show continuity with the respective pins for the parking lights and turn signals.
But when I set the handle to left or right and test the pins for continuity for the parking lights nothing. When looking at the switch, there are three tabs which I’m looking at and wonder whether the switch can be opened for further inspection. Here’s pics of the tabs; 2 on the bottom, one on the top.

I would suggest maybe trying contact cleaner spray first, before soaking it in any acid.
