i have had these switches 'fail' on every RV i have owned, BUT never replaced them. The contacts are made on the release of the switch. When mine start doing this, i let them 'snap' into the on position and they have always started working again. Push in and let your finger slip off of the button so that the button and contacts snap into the on position. The problem is oxidation of the metals in the contacts. With only the spring tension holding the contacts together, the oxidation can interfere with closing the circuit.
