That switch is a heated rear screen switch for a Reliant Robin/Kitten/Fox. The fan switch on these doesn't have a light, just a fan symbol... Its the lower right hand one in the picture. Also used on early Metros and later (up to 1995 Reliant Rialto's and Robin mark 2's The later ones are 2-position though as the fans were 2-speed.
I've probably got a fair few of these, including some new and boxed, of the various different sorts too (same shape) lurking in my spares collection if you get stuck. As you've found, careful disassembly and cleaning works wonders. One of the few things I've found that WD-40 is actually any use for!!!!
As far as I know the only difficult version of these switches to get hold of is the hazard switch. When these do turn up they can be eye-wateringly expensive!!
