I wonder if you have a short in you multi function switch, which is the lever for bright/dim

If you don't know much about electrical would you be able to fix it yourself?

You need a may new switch,they do wear out. I had the same problem on a older ford,changed switch,worked fine. It's not good taking a chance driving it that way. You could have a bad ground some place but i would change the switch first on an old vehical,it won't hurt ,then I would start looking for a bad ground. If it was a lot newer vehical, the first thing I would look for is a bad ground or a bad connection in the harness some place.
