Default 1978 XJS rear side light issue

Hi, new member here with an issue I searched for but did not find. My rear right side light works when lights selector is moved to "side", but turns off when "head" lights are selected. My guess is the dash switch is bad, but thought I might pick some brains before digging in. Thanks.

Got to be the switch! Buy another from a breaker, easy swap.

Try lotsa contact cleaner before you replace switch. Blow out with compressed air and repeat. I find all these Jag switches need cleaning.
