Flexi Navigation Light Not Staying Lit

[maxstu]

Camper flexi navigation light on B pillar above passanger seat on RHD. Power comes from sliding door light live wire and arrives at switch black wire. Then goes red to blub.



Black centre cable has a ring on it and fits around button of switch, then acts as earth inside metal body.



Works pressing button. But will not stay illuminated. Is the switch faulty inside? How do l test it? Its held together by two small rivets seen in above photo too.

Same here. Made redundant in 2017. Living off payment since, and a small private pension. Can fill my days very easily. But wont last until proper retirement in 8 years. So likely will need to seek work again in 2021. As much as l would like to maintain this peaceful lifestyle, 58 is a bit too premature for total retirement...according to Maxine

Now working. Took a switch from an old camper swivel lamp sitting in the loft. I do like an illuminating conclusion.

When young enough to enjoy it too. lve done my 40 years, working from the age of 15.
Working to 67 is a bummer. Of course governments' will bang on how we all want to work on later and later. So many will drop dead before starting state pension that the tossers that rule will make huge savings in not paying the deceased.
