Tucson hood light switch not working (2010-2015 Model)

 Issue - The switch next to the controls for the sunroof to change the cabin lights from Off > Door > On no longer moves to all the positions or lets the light come on. If you hold the switch in a particular position it would put the cabin lights on but if it moved my hand off the switch it would turn off. 

Solution - The contacts for the switch are damaged and need to be replaced. The console can be removed by taking out the two screws at the top of the section for glasses. 

After that you can use a flat headed screwdriver to pull the console down. There is a spring clip on each side. The edge closer to the windscreen lowers out first then the entire part slides down and toward the windscreen. 

Two wire harnesses then need to be removed. One controls the sunroof and the other controls the lights. There were a few screws and hook clips that had to be removed to separate the black plastic layer from the grey layer. 

The issue was that the metal bar and plastic around it has deteriorated and no longer makes contact. 

I was able to use a bit of foil to wrap the damaged metal strip. This filled in the gap that had developed and also conducts electricity to allow the switch to operate properly.
