Switch position Result Comment
A_up, B_up Both lights on == lights 1 & 2 are in parallel
A_down, B_up Both lights off As expected
A_up, B_down Both lights off As expected
A_down, B_down Both lights OFF THIS IS THE PROBLEM

The bottom connection is broken. I recommend buying two new light
switches because they're cheap ($1 - $5). Probably a wire came loose
from the switch arced away the connector.

That is one way. Another option is to replace one switch.
If it fixes the problem, great. If not, take the switch
that you removed and use that to replace the other switch.

If one switch has gone bad, the 2nd one is probably not
far behind, so replacing both is a pretty good idea.
They are quick to swap out once you get the power turned
off (and confirm it is off with a meter).
