    Pull cord light switch
    The cord has been pulled from the light switch. I have removed it but its in lots of parts. How do I reassemble it. Don't want to buy another.

    "The light switch" is kind of vague. Can you post a picture of the switch? Or maybe tell us what it is from?

    Typically these things are not repaired, but are replaced.
