I found a solution for the switch erase bug!!! So i added ellie in the med bay and dismissed vicar, and got the bug that vicar would lose all equipment and reset.
I noticed that there was a duplicate vicar in the spot of the switch!
Solution that worked for me was returning with Vicar as a companion and dismissing to the copy, it will make your Vicar go away... Go back to the ship and come back with Vicar as your companion... If all goes well the copy will disappear and your companion will work correctly
