Default Problem with Fan Control Switch

I tried searching this topic but couldn't find anything. If you've run across this problem point me in the right direction. Thanks!

On my C5 the AC, Heater, Rear Window Defog all work but there are times when the switch won't work so they won't turn on and the fan won't work. At times I can smack my fist against the side panel by the switch **** and it will work but that's not always successful. Any suggestions?
