Problem sounds like it may be in the switch itself. If you can take it apart, check all the contacts in the switch and make sure they are all still good.

You might want to try and slightly bend the fuse prongs a bit in the opposite direction of themselves. My brake lights went out and it turned out that the fuse just wasnt sitting in properly due to the old parts. check to see if you are getting juice to everything and go from there. hope you solve it.

I was hooking up some side markers and one of the live wires touched my car and shorted the fuse. the ECU-B fuse. the ECU-B fuse is in the fuse group by the gas lever. if it is not that fuse. then i think you might have some wiring problems. But I'll check to see if I am correct about the ECU-B fuse position during my lunch break. good luck
i would of done so much work..then not figured it out.. then gone to a shop and swore up and down i checked the fuses and payed a ÅÅÅÅload of money.. lol.. thanks again
on another note.. do you ever find things and are like "what the ÅÅÅÅ, why didnt i know that.."
i droped the fuse box cover from the engine bay.. and low and behold.. a few fuse holders and remover thingy. dont think its ever been touched.. my bet is the other guy didnt know about it either..
