adam is right (for once :lol: )
the switch end or contacts could have worn ,try moving it slight or packing out the end of the switch with a bit of cardbord.
you could also rewire it by extending the live wire to a dash mounted switch (this must illuminate whilst on)

Sounds more like the linkage between the turret and gearbox needs shortening slightly.
