We have a lamp in our bedroom which has a wheel switch on the power cord to turn the lamp on or off.
Recently, the lamp has been flickering if the cord wheel switch is touched. When the switch & housing are positioned correctly, the light is on and steady, but when it is twisted slightly (the housing, not the wheel) the light will either flicker or turn off entirely.
It seems like it might be a short in the connection between the switch and the cord. If so, I feel like that should be a fairly straightforward fix – disassemble the housing, fix the connection, and put the housing back together.
Is this the case? If so, how do I identify the problematic connection, and how do I fix it?

Most likely your switch is going bad or it is at the switch, but I do agree with @Martin Bonner and think if it's not that it's a loose connection. These are not that hard to find. It's the loose connection.
Good luck.
