replace the switch... there is a spring steel L shaped clip that goes around a V shaped slide and that plastic slide breaks on them... i have the same problem and looking for a used switch cause the Ford dealers want $112.00(can) for a new one. I suggest buying any toggle/push-button switch and rewire it (as the ford switch will break again). A new switch from Radio Shack (or equivalent) is easy to install and will only cost you just $5. Here's the wiring info for your convenience: (The stock Ford switch is a 5 terminal switch)

Red & black stripe - Hot for illuminating LED

Black - Ground for illuminating LED

Red - goes to dimming rheostat

Black & White stripe - Hot "for" Rear Defroster

Black & Blue stripe - Wire "to" Rear Defroster

Will putting a higher amped fuse for your rear defroster in your 1998 Honda Accord make it function faster and better?

No, it means that you could burn out the wiring when the defroster fails or the wires short out. When the wiring burns out it could cause other parts of the vehicle to burn and your whole car could be nothing but an expensive piece of burned out rubble. Never replace fuses with an over-amperage fuse. Only use original sized fuses to prevent damaging the vehicle.
