On older vehicles cleaning and tightening electrical connections, including grounds is often a good way to clear up problems like this. If you're not up to the task, find a shop that specializes in auto electrical diagnosis and repairs. I have a tech who always looks for this sort of thing first and he is usually able to at least improve things without actually changing parts. Your results may vary.
