This could be one of a few things, but it is most likely a ground issue.
A bad or disconnected ground can cause any number of weird things, and this will definitely be included. You will need to make sure the switch and lights all have good solid ground connections that are not "stacked" on one another. Each should have their own.
Once all the grounds are checked and or secured, you will need to check your power wire with something like the Performance Tool # PTW2993. If the power source isn't secured to the switch, it could also be causing this to happen, but odds are its the ground.
