I’ve not come across that particular switch before but I doubt, alike many of the type and era, that it is potted or inaccessible. I assume it will have tabs that can be bent back and the insulated cover removed to access the rockers and pins inside.
Once accessed it should just be a case of cleaning corroded contacts and lubricating. Perhaps a local clock repairer would take it on if you don’t fancy a go? Although finding anyone to work on anything these days is getting harder sadly.

I found this after typing "240Z hazard switch" into Google, does it need this part?

Are you sure it's faulty?
Also from memory they operate in the opposite way to what you might think i.e. the switch lever has to be lifted.
The hazard and indicator switches/relays are interlinked and work as a pair. I'll post a diagram later.

I’ve a spare switch but it only has the 6pin plug
The diagram is in here
Wiring problems - no indicators or brake lights
Whilst I’m into this, does anyone make a good replacement fuse box? I noticed the second fuse on the right, one of the headlight fuses I believe, is getting hot after a while. Also, my glove box was locked (and not opening with my keys) when I got the car, now I have opened it, it has no lining...
