Well, I've cleaned the switch of my 330 with some contact cleaner 'cause it was a bit scratchy.
No longer scratchy.
But now the switch doesn't want to stay in treble position, it randomly comes back to the middle position.
It doesn't do that in the bass position.
It makes me angry.

Did your contact cleaner contain lubricant? (It'll say so on the label). If so, you'll have to remove the pickguard and spray some non-lube contact cleaner on the area where the switch exits the bezel on the underside (the plastic baton). Put some newspaper under it and rinse it with the cleaner really well, to get rid of the lube.

Yes, it contains lubricant, "loosens, unblocks, de-rusts, cleans, lubricates" written on it.
What was i thinking of when i used this "all purpose" product ?
I will try to find a cleaner without lubricant. Thanks.

Well, i've done what paul said.
It helped but not completely solved my problem.
So i've just bend the leg of the switch a little on the treble side and now it 's ok.

I still love the analog word for fixes. Good job Didier.
