Then fan turns on when the switch is in the "on" position but the lights won't work and then when we flip the switch to the "off" position the fan turns off and the lights dimly flicker on. They used to work just fine until a week ago. They are fluorescent lights if that helps. How do I fix this?

Hire a licensed electrician to see what's wrong. He will charge for the work, but that's cheaper than a fire. One problem I happen to know about is that some houses were wired with aluminum wires. They are just fine as long as they work, but if a light starts to flicker after a while, then those aluminum wires are a fire hazard and the house has to be rewired with copper wires. There may be some other things that you don't know about, but a professional electrician does know about them.
