haywire lightswitch

so the other day i got in my truck on a rainy day when it was still dark out, and when i pulled the light switch out on my 1992 f150 my lights didn't come on. after fiddling with it i found a spot where they go on, i have to leave it pushed in abit, and if i pull it right out all the way just the headlights work but no tailights or park lights with them. does it sound light i need a new switch or relay or what else could it be?

headlight switch and the plug that goes in the back of the switch burn up on these trucks.
your issue is an indication of this.
