The switches themselves are interchngeable, however wire coding might be different.
You will at least need to remove the seat fasteners and tip the seat back to access the seat wire plug harness. However, if you go this far, you might as well remove the seat and have complete access to what you're working on. Who needs additional aches?
FWIW, if the switches mechanically operate OK, open them up and clean the contacts. Its a bit of work, you can do it while they are in the car. On my 89 I had an an intermittent switch that was 100% a tarnished switch connection. There are some good pictures of this on Pelican.
The switches themselves are interchangeable, however, wire coding might be different.
That be a YES as the wires go to different positions on the plug under the seat.
I seem to recall the switches themselves are delicate and they tend to pop apart when you don't expect them to so use care not to lose any of the small parts.

I've done this as well with electronics contact cleaner and just pulling the switch itself out a little, surrounding it with a towel and liberally spraying down the switch while actuating the position switches. Blow dry with compressed air.
The switches are spring loaded and have little tiny ball bearings at the end of the springs, so be careful if disassembly is required.
