Agreed, I had a flaky switch in my '88 Civic where the headlights would work
but none of the other lights did. I removed the switch, cleaned it,
polished the contacts with some 400 grit sandpaper, and relubed it with some
fresh Sylglide silicone grease. This fixed the problem and saved me the ~
$80 for a new one.
