Ok, it sounds like it might be a bad resistor, (the whatever you were talking about earlier).

Most LED set ups require a resistor to limit the amount of power that gets to the LEDs. Depending on how it's wired, a blown (or dying) resistor could cause your problem. Find the resistor, and test it.

I'd also take apart the switch housing (it's just a couple of screws, don't be a pussy) and check for corrosion, ala Goof.
