Light problems.
A friend of mine just bought a 99 convert with about 107K miles on it. And today he noticed the lights act strange as he described if you turn the switch the headlights come on but sometimes the tail lights or even sometimes the interior lights dont come on unless he flips the switch a few times. It sounds like his switch is going bad to me. But Has anyone else had this problem?

Bad switches are fairly common. I'd say thats very likely.
One tip he could try before replacing it is to spray some electronics cleaner into the switch. Radio shack sell it in spray can for a few $$. Some members have avoided a switch change by doing this.
