Abstract
In a vehicle push button switch, a case fixed to a vehicle body or a lid is provided with a guide portion for guiding a push button and supports a switch used to change a switching state in response to a push operation of the push button. The switch is protected by using a sealing structure. The case includes: a first case member; a second case member fixed to the first case member; and an elastic member interposed between the first and second case members. The push button is connected to the center portion of the elastic member, and the switch housed in a housing chamber formed between the first case member and the elastic member is supported by the first case member such that the switching state is changed in response to bending of the elastic member which occurs with the push operation of the push button.
