Mend Bathroom Light Switched

My bathroom light pull cord won't click back to off mode?

I have switched my light off but the pull cord hasn't clicked back into position. How do I go about fixing this?

take a small screw driver and push it back in
usually the mechanism has been pulled beyond its normal position

probably best to buy a new pull switch only a few pund and only 3 wires live neut and earth. earth to own point in unit and live neut in switch itself.

Its best to buy a new one - but have a look at how many terminals there are inside first as there are two types - single and double pole.
