All of a sudden, the light switch in my '98 S70 Volvo started malfunctiong. When I turn the swith to 'on', the light do not outside lights do not come on. The dash lights do still work. However, when I push in on the switch, the outside lights will come on (and the dash lights go off) while I hold in the switch. Anyone have any ideas of the problem or how to fix/replace switch? Thanks.

faulty switch. You can pull it out and replace.

take a small flat head screw driver, and use it for a little leverage on the switch. It should pop right out.
