Last night I was heading out to pick up a friend and noticed that my headlight switch felt a little off when I engaged the fog lights. It didn't fully click into position and felt like it would only go halfway between on and off. After I picked them up and tried turning them on again the switched would pull out all the way and turn on the lights but when I release it the switch just snaps back into the off position with the spring. Seems like whatever locks the switch in the fog light on position has failed.

I searched the forum and saw a bunch of problems with headlight switches but all my lights function properly. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Just need to know if it can be fixed or if I have to replace the switch.
