WD-40 while it has some lubricating properties, it is not a lubricant.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Rub those 16 years old and oxidized contacts with abrasive paper and try again. (guessing here)
Not entirely sure about the circuit for this little one but certainly it is not on its own. Meaning other service lights wouldn't function, shall the circuit be the culprit.
Let us know as mine is also fried
Haven't tried to replaced it, yet anyway
I had to replace the microswitch on my 00. There is a DYI on Renntech for replacing the frunk micro switch. I think you have to be a registered member to read it, but here's the link:

I just wanted to give you fellas an update on my frunk light issue. I read somewhere that the switch was in the hood latch so I took some WD40 silicone and sprayed the hell out of the latch and with a few minutes of soak time and a few cuss words the light came on and now the light works like a champ now. Good ole' german electric !
I know this is an old thread but figured I would add some info. The Renntech article is very helpful but as of 2025, the replacement part is closer to $150. I removed the latch and then removed the plastic cover that houses the micro-switch. My micro-switch was fine but there is a plastic cam that presses against the micro-switch and it was sticking a bit. I added white lithium grease to this cam and the metal tongue of the micro-switch - fixed! I have a '98 so the latch has 2 cable pulls (one for the emergency release and the other for the lever release by the driver's sill. There were 2 grommets that helped hold these cables that disintegrated. I found some grommets and shaved off one side to replace these. Sorry - didn't take pictures but it is pretty straightforward.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
