Lights won't work in back half of trailer?

I can find nothing annoying about the existence of that switch.

Pop,

I've not questioned the purpose or value of the switch. The annoyance is that the switch on many trailers including mine do not function properly without requiring adjustment or shimming. I certainly don't need a contraption of alligator clips to test it. All I have to do is lay down the walls and press the switch button. The lights turn on with the depress and off with the release. The malfunction on mine (as well as others in this thread), is that the rear shower wall does not depress the switch enough to turn the lights on in the trailer without adjustment or shimming.
