WD-40 over time becames a sticky varinish-like non-conductive coating, more like an insulator. It will also attact dirt and increase wear in the switch and contacts too. It may disperse the moisture initially, but will lead to trouble in the long run.

Use contact cleaner in moderation then sparingly apply proper contact grease . Your bike will thank you in the long run.
