intermittenly my dash lights go out, at first i thought it was a switch but
after putting brand new one in they still dont work, i used to have to
wiggle the switch and they would come on, or after the van warms up they
come on, any ideas would be apprecited as i want to take it on a trip
before to long

Check the connections to the switch for both dirt/corrosion and tightness.
The wiggling of the switch is an indicator of bad connections, and when
everything warms up any looseness in the connectors & wires could be
alleviated by metal expansion.
While you're at it, do the same check for every & any connection you can
find under/behind the dash...

well if you wiggled the switch and got them to come on and you replaced the
switch and it didnt fix your problem I now have to ask this.....Is it the
connector to the switch causing the problem? like a loose wire?
