Default Fog light switch repair...

So, My fog lights didn't work. I figured it was a relay or something. I have power coming to the switch, but none leaving the switch.

Today I changed out with a known working switch, and Voila! My Fogs work.

So, I have like 5 switches that do not work. I have tried to dis-mantle them and repair, but I just break them. Does anyone know the deal with why they stop working and how to repair them?

Thanks

Thumbs up

There is a copper spring-connector inside it looks like the back of a spoon one big and one little connected that gets weak i bent mine to be a tighter fit. The latch is also not working so i wedge a toothpick to hold the switch on.
I couldnt find a new switch.

Default Switch

Thanks for the reply Pete.

To bend them, do you have to open the switch up? Are you taking about the outer copper thing?(photo attached)

Thanks,
