This is one of my favourite complaints with Epi guitars. Their switches are CRAP. I have replaced almost every one on my 5 Epis. I even had to replace the switch on my Japanese Elitist and they are supposed to have US hardware/electronics. Not so for the switch. Try flipping the switch rapidly a few times. That will sometimes clean out the crud between the contacts. Just replace it with a new switchcraft. You will have to eventually anyway. I have written emails to Epi and they don't give a damn.
99% of the time that is what is wrong.
