HELP!!! headlights will not come on!!!

Is it possible that my switch has gone bad ?? I have all other lights, running, signals, brakes lights and interior as well as dash, but when I pull to have the headlights come on....NOTHING...not even a dip in voltage when I pull it. What are your suggestions??

Is there a 'switch' or module that I can check or replace?? thanks in advance for any help!!

I had to clean my contacts at the bulbs and use dielectric grease to get a good contact.

The bulbs and such are all new. it did this one night and just pushed and pulled the knob a few times and they came on...so I have a pretty good feeling its just a switch problem. will update with teh answer.
