Atwood jack switches

Have atwood electric jacks. One switch sticks. Sometimes when I let go of the switch, the jack keeps going.

Can't find a part number to replace the switch. Found one for a tongue jack, but, not sure if it is same switch.

There are all kinds of switches on ebay. Some have six pins, some only have three. I'd pull this one out to check, but, I'm afraid it will break, trying to get it out.

Has anybody replaced one of these switches?

Can you tell me how many pins?

    They just pop in, could remove (power off) the motor cover to release from underneath and note wiring-
    Ill spray with lube/ helps but I ALWAYS expect switch to stick so am prepared to bump in opposite direction using 2 hand 1 on each switch. Simply dont trust them. The housing just warp. Also lubing the plugs with some dielectric so worse case you can yank it, and to prevent corrosion.

    They dont give them away-prices all over the map maybe because of the printed EXT/RET -picture of switch
