Did you check the switch itself? And the bulbs, btw.

+1 on checking the bulbs. I suggest checking the wiring again. I had the exact same problem in the past, ends up there was a cut wire that needed splicing and reconnecting...

Not sure what you meant by "negative work". Did you check the switch itself?
