99 V70 Driving Light Switch Problem V70-XC70

Suddenly, with no warning, in the middle of a very dark night, I lost my panel lights. If I rotate the switch to the parking light position, the panel lights are there, when I rotate to vertical and run the headlights, no panel lights. The dimmer switch has no effect on this.

BUT.....when I push on the driving light switch, when the headlights are on, the panel lights come on but only if I maintain pressure on the switch.

Unless I am missing something really obvious, it looks like a bad switch. I wonder if someone can tell me the bad news because I know anything with wires coming out of it can't be cheap.

Thanks,

Steve
