A/C Button doesn't engage

So this morning my wife told me it was already cold enough so turn off the A/C. I hit the button and off it went. No problems. Then a little while later after I dropped her off at work I try to turn it back on and it won't engage.

When I press the button down the switch lights up, it makes the click noise but when I let go the light turns off. Basically it doesn't engage. The defrost button works fine. When I got to work I tried playing with it a little and if I hold it in about 1/4 inch the A/C engages and I get cold air.

This is on a 2007 Fit with 6,000 miles. Would this be covered under warranty? Or is this something I can easily/quickly fix myself?

If you haven't reached 3 yrs. since delivery it should be covered.

Well, turns out my wife got the car 9/4/2006. So tomorrow would be the 3 year mark. Is this something that is expensive to fix?

Our '07 Fit's A/C switch was replaced under warranty for the same reason.

If it's this switch the price is less than $25 USD:

List $ 29.78 Sell $ 22.16
