The light switch was mostly non-functional. Took it all apart and hit it with some contact cleaner.

A second set of switches is on the other side of the hood, and the bracket holding them in place was broken. Spent the last three nights gradually building it back up with hard glue, before reinstalling it with an oversized washer.

Switches on both sides are now working 100%.

    Nice fix! Is the glue going to take the heat?

      Shouldn’t be a problem. It’s rated for ~75C continuous exposure. Also, the oversize washer takes most of the strain off of the bracket.
