It's a simple job to take it apart and clean with a degreaser or nail file, recoat with dielectric grease and reinstall. I've not had any fail to not work, doing this. BUT, should that not work, broken contact or something, HDL or any Honda shop can get you one pretty quickly.
Just wondering... was it a shop that told your friend that??
