Maybe you do'd this aready: Take the switch out. Use a skinny, thin little screwdriver and another, to lift the (soft!) vinyl half with the little squares in it,...off the little arrowhead clips. It looks impossible, but it isn't at all. Use the second little blade, screwdriver to keep the squares you work free from rebeling.
Once you get it apart, hopefully note how it goes before it falls to pieces, you can use a needle nose pliars to bend that *#%! teeny lever back, slightly down, and so the end is 90û to the plastic maze it needs to follow. That's the trick, the end has to stay in the track, not be leaning back to let it slip out.
Test it before you smoosh all the clips together. If right, it will stay in the clicked in/off position without question.
Believe it, this is not hard. Only about fifteen minutes screwing around, more than installing a new switch.
