Dash lights out

Once again another problem.... The dash lights (all of them at once) work intermittently. Sometimes when the light switch is turned on the dash lights come on, sometimes they don't. Even when they don't the radio does dim the display as if the dash lights were on.

It seems to be a contact problem as they work all or none occasionally. Where is the best place to check the connections on this?

I would check the headlight switch first.
