That glowing light under the dash

[ehegwer]

Tonight for the first time I got to work on the car past dark in preparation for getting it to pass inspection. It hasn't been registered for about 5 years.

Running through the checklist, I got all the turn signals to work after changing a couple of bulbs. Got an issue with the marker lamps and license plate lights sorted out thanks to 02for2, BillWilliams, and TonyHavana.

When I was all done checking everything over, it was just getting dark, and I climbed inside to back the car into the garage, when I saw this glowing red light under the dash, on the side of the center console. So I did what any guy would do. I pressed it!

Hazards!

And they all were working.

But then when I went to push the switch again, they would't go off. As best I can determine, I have the push on - push off type of illuminated button. Are these repairable? or do I just try to replace it.

I wedge a paper clip or a clip from a cheap pen in that switch to hold it in.

Thanks John_in_VA. I followed the link, pulled the switch, bent the little tab oh so little, and presto! Good as new.
