If you are sure you are having problems with the combination switch, like the headlight dimmer switch, try spraying a little "Tuner cleaner that you can buy at radio shack into the switch in the area where the switch is. The high/low beam switch (work the switch a bunch of times because if thedr is trash on them it may taake a few sprays and working them before they work right. If the switch is structured different you have to take a different approach which doesn't necessarily mean dismantling the switch. if I'm not mistaken is where it goes into the steering column. Follow the switch arm into the column cover or better if you can remove it and gain access to it. The same goes for the wiper switches. All most switches are is a set of contact points. At some point in time they eithey either get burnt, worn or dirty.
Someone who knows a little about electronics may be able to resolve the problem without you having to buy a new switch. BE CAREFUL! you can get in over you head real fast if you don't pay close attention. Do your work on a kind of cloth which small things can not roll around on. Keep a digital camera at hand and document each step of your proceedure if you are going to take a stab at it your self. After all, if the switch is bad you really only have one option . buy a replacement! If you are successful enough to get to the contact areas, a fine abrasive like 2000 grit sand paper to polish the surfaces. DO NOT BEND the arms which the points are on, they already have enough tention. If any, just tweek them a little because you don't want them to stay connected when you don't want them to be! I hope I'v been helpful.
