I had a similar problem with my '00. It turned out to be bad solder
joints on the switch itself. It was a fairly easy DIY repair and IIRC
the switch ran about $80 new from the dealer.

Thanks Everyone!
My co-worker said that he removed the stitch connections and re-connected
them and everything is fine now. However, this could mean there is something
internally wrong with the sitch and may be a recurring issue. I hope not for
his sake!

Thanks again.
