Front Seat Dome Light Switch

[Zuke7]

Hey,
Today i was trying to fix the dome light in the front of my 2002 Ford Explorer. I took off the plastic cover and pushed the bulbs back in place. The lights both turned on. I then pressed the black switch on the right side of the light to turn it off and it worked fine. I tried the left side and it doesn't work. It feels like there is no spring in the button. I dont know if i have to order the whole plastic cover that is on the roof, or just the button. Thanks in advance, Sam

Welcome to the forum Sam!

I don't know if you can get just the switches or not. Maybe you can buy the just the piece the switches mount into. Junkyard?

This is what I'm talking about, image borrowed from Damage82:

The red arrows point to the switches & the yellow arrows points to the piece I'm talking about.
