Slider and rotating knob controls sometimes get dust and dirt in them and they become erratic.
From the description you give I'm not sure what the problem might be but if were my car I would try a squirt of switch cleaner as a first step.
Amazon sell it - shops like Maplins too. About £5
Good luck...
