I’ve seen a lot of videos of people replacing the entire unit but not restoring. After 20+ years the grease isn’t any more. I disassembled that, re- greased it and that is now working perfectly too.
Great news
Where did you get the microswitces? I need to tackle the same issue on the passenger side door as well.

I bought the door latch from our host but got the inside and outside door handle micro switches from a wrecked car at a pick and pull.

I should say that our host sells the micro switches too. Look at the beginning of this tread for the links (but make sure the door latch is compatible with your car).
