come on now..... if there wasn't supposed to be grease in there, why
would the manufacturer put it in there to start with.
Even in low amperage switches like "mode switches" in VCR's they put
grease in there to not only reduce the friction and wear but to keet
the contacts from oxidizing..... put grease in there for sure....
even a heavier general purpose grease would be just fine for the
higher amperage and heavier contact spring tension switch like in the
heater fan switch. If you run it dry, you will lose the switch in a
much shorter time.

Not all grease is created the same. You want to use only grease
designed for electrical work. It's cheap and you can find it at the auto
parts store.
