Warning flashers stuck on!

[goodtime]

So just for kicks I press my warning flasher switch to see if the flasher function works. It pushed in and the flashers work, but I push again to turn off and the switch won't come up and the flashers won't go off! arrgh!

So I assume I get to take "panel A" off and unstick the switch or is there a secret way to turn off the flashers? This is on a new to me 03 model.

Thanks

Edit-Update

I did take the panel off and just kept pushing the switch and it finally released. I may do the RadioHowie cleaning at a later date, too much real farkling for me to do now.

"This is on a new to me 03 model" with 7 years worth of splooge in the switch. Take the "A" panel off, as you noted, unplug the switch...easy to do from the wire hanging off the switch...carefully push the switch up and out of the cowling plastic, take it apart and clean it.

Oh, and be prepared to replace it. Probably lots of corrosion in there, since it's very exposed to the elements.
