Default Headlight, turn, wiper switch needs replacement?

1991 Accord. Sometimes when I turn my headlights on the rear lights will not work. I will have brake lights but no rear lights. Sometimes when i turn the switch the dash lights will not turn on, sometimes my wipers will not work when I turn the switch. Do I need to change the switch? Does the one switch control all of these?

I think you should change the switch.

Sometimes it takes a bit of time to get people to reply, plus this site has been down at some points during the day.

You may be able to take out the switch, take it apart and clean the contacts inside. It does sound like something is up with the switch or the wiring to the switch. Possibly a loose fuse?
