Default faulty ignition switch

When I turn my ignition switch to start my 08 Ultra, the lights and fuel pump will not turn on unless I hold the switch to the right. As soon as I let go of the switch the bike dies... Any ideas???

When mine (on my '07) started acting up it went downhill FAST. Within a few days it was done, wouldn't work at all.

This has happened on my 06' a couple of times recently. Every time, I turn it off then back on and it has lit up and run the fuel pump. I guess it won't be long before I have to replace mine. Are they expensive? and can they be rebuilt?
Inquiring mimes want to know!
