Ok so I had the jeep off the road for a bit and the battery went dead. I thought it was because I didn't start it in a month or two. Well fresh battery and the fog lights turned on by just attaching the battery. So fidgeting with the multifunction switch they went off only by holding the end of the stock in.
I found a write up about rebuilding the multi function switch. So, I give it a try and it worked. It turned out the pull switch is a post that rides on a hinged plastic mechanical switch. Pushing it in lifts the contacts and breaks the circuit. The spot that the post rides on wore a groove deep enough contact can no longer be broken. You just fill the groove with epoxy and reassemble. The hardest part was waiting for the glue to dry and getting the 4way switch back in. Not hard but the 4 way spring kept wanting to pop back out.
