Default 97 Dodge Caravan Headlight slide switch

1997 Caravan. When I slide the switch to turn on headlights, they flicker. I constantly have to "jiggle" the switch back and forth, Eventually they come on, but may actually go out while I am driving. Seems to be getting worse, more and more difficult to get them to come on. Any suggestions?

Replace the switch.
There's dirt or corrosion on the contacts or the switch is simply worn out.
This could cost you your life if it were to fail at just the right time.

Thanks Chopper

I called my mechanic. The switch is $255, not installed. I was hoping for an alternative. I just dropped $600 on brakes and $400 on exhaust. I think its time to sell
