How do I fix my pull cord lamp?
I have a nice little bedside lamp that has the pull cord switch and it broke. I went to pull it to turn it on and the cord came completely out of the lamp. :(
I don’t know how to fix it and I don’t want to throw the lamp away it’s a set and I love them.
Can anyone help me fix this lamp?

Take a picture of the switch area of the lamp, take it to a home improvement store and they can help you find what you need to fix it, I am sure it isn't the first lamp the pull cord came out of. They should be able to tell you how to put on the new pull switch. If nothing else, check with a local lighting store, they will probably know who you could take it to for repair. I hope you get it fixed!

There should be videos on you tube that will walk you thru it. If you feel too difficult, just take to lamp repair shop.
If you are not comfortable doing this yourself - many hardware stores, not big box stores - repair such items. I had a floor lamp fixed this way.
Thank you.
I did not know this.
I’m not good with repairing electrical items and was afraid to give this a try.
I will definitely be taking it to my local hardware store.
Thank you for your help.
