Ratty Rocker, Midget Light Switch

                       Depending on how it bit the dust, you may be able to fix it. On mine, the back of the
                       switch (that holds the contacts) came loose from the main body of the switch when one
                       of the two plastic tangs that hold the switch together broke off. Here's what I did to fix
                       it in a desperate few minutes:

                       1) Remove remains of switch from dash (this will require some fiddling around behind
                       the dash with a small screwdriver to remove the clip/light assembly that holds the
                       switch in place). Be gentle but persistent.

                       2) Locate the parts of the switch:
                         the back of the switch (dangling from the wires)
                         the copper U-shaped sliding contact
                         the nylon slide that fits into the copper contact
                         the spring that goes on the nylon slide
                         the main body of the switch
                       You may find the little bits hiding where the dash curls under at the bottom edge.

                       3) Find the end of the main body of the switch where the clip broke off (it may be both
                       ends).

                       4) Drill a pair of small holes (1/16" or less) in solid material either side of the broken
                       clip.

                       5) Use a small piece of solid wire threaded through the holes to fashion a new clip that
                       will engage the hook on the switch back (I used a paper clip). Twist the wire off
                       securely so it won't come loose.

                       6) Reassemble the switch:
                         set the U shaped slide in the back of the switch
                         set the nylon slide into the contact
                         set the spring on the stem on the slide
                         snap the back of the switch into the main body of the switch, making sure that the
                       other end of the spring goes into the little stem on the rocker

                       7) Reinstall in dash
