The cord on the bathroom ceiling light snapped inside the fitting. I bought a new cord but can\\\'t see how it attaches. There is a hole for the cord to post into but then what do I do? Thanks.

Hello,
If the cord has broken inside the 'body' of the switch you will probably have to replace the switch itself.
 
I suspect that is the case. I took the red, black and copper wires out of the bits they are connected to and there is still no way to get inside, where the cord actually operates the switch.

Presumably a replacement will come with a cord attached and will connect those three wires into similar places? Getting someone out for something so small is quite impossible.

yeah, just buy a 1-way, single pole, 5 amp or 10 amp pull-cord switch. The 3 terminals should be marked L1, COM and earth, or similar.
