Curly: did as you said - took the "bad switch" off - replaced with a switch from the back that was working - no go AND the good switch on the back has stopped working when i put it back to where it had been working a few seconds before - a real head scratcher ... something need to be reprogrammed in the ECM??? weird very weird j.

If you just move the switch you still have an open circuit. replace the switch. We see these every day
Yes, but "jiggling" a switch where the contact surface is corroded or arc'd will usually allow intermittant operation, enough to tell if the switch is really the problem. Given that the headlights are not working properly as well, I'd almost suspect that the shop didn't properly reconnect a wiring harness somewhere - possibly one of the big molex connectors under the dash or into the back of the instrument cluster not fully plugged in.
