1998 chevrolet cavailer, 2.2, 139,000 miles:
when I turn on the switch on the headlights turn on but the parking lights come on, the only part of the headlight that comes on are the drl's. I have played with the wires thinking it was a loose connection, but that has ceased to work. Is it time for a new switch assembly?

Do you have a test light? Check the fuses and the drl relay in the fuse panel under the dash, if all check out ok, there is a blue wire goes into the switch you cna check for power and are the bulbs know to be good?

I have checked the fuses and I know the bulbs work because they work when I pull the brights back.

Probably going to be the switch then, I would really check the drl relay located in the same spot, if there is another one that looks the same swap them out and retry if all is good replace the switch
