When you try to open it with the Fob or the handle, does it make any noises to suggest that it is trying to open |

I would still go for the switch, it only needs a little bit of water and with the cold temperature, if it freezes this is when it will fail. |

I think it only needs the rear washer fluid to run down onto the handle and I'm sure it will get in |

The later switch seems to have some sealant between the rubber and the switch, when I did mine a couple of years ago, the replacement had no sealant, I have sinced picked one up off the bay for £3 and it has sealant on the join, hopefully I will never have to fit it though. |
