It lives in a very hostile environment behind the driver's side tire, catching all sorts of mud/water/salt splash. Check the switch and the connections going to it before you start shotgunning expensive stuff like a new harness at a simple problem.
I like to wire headlights through a couple of relays, and only use a (new) dimmer switch to carry the very low current flow to trigger the relays. You'll be amazed at how much brighter the headlights can be, particularly if they're running on 6 volts. Jerry
