Doubt if the switch is bad. Need to check for a short to ground on the light circuit front and back lights. Do you have an ohm meter? Start unplugging lights and wiring harness's first to try and isolate the problem. Use your ohm meter on the load side of the fuse to check for the short instead of using a bunch of fuses.
