double fog light switch

[magpie]

i'm pretty sure i read on here some time ago that these are repairable ? i have about 7 of these that either half work or only work with both buttons pushed in etc .

would be great if i could get them working , i think i have x2 pre facelift ones a also as they don't fit in my car plug socket .

Not exactly 'repairable', since I've never seen one that is actually broken. The design is of a high quality, and a fog light switch gets so little use, that anything is unlikely to broken.
The problem that does afflict them is tarnishing of the switching contacts, largely as a result of the 'so little use', mentioned above, and this is easily fixable.
It's fairly obvious how the switch comes apart, by releasing the plastic tabs that are typical of this kind of product. Do it with the knobs facing upwards and the pins for the socket facing downwards, and you shouldn't end up with small bits all over the floor.
Clean up all the internal bits with proprietary electrical switch cleaner or IPA, give them a light spray of silicon grease, lower the outer case down over the works and snap it back together.
