Sounds like a short of some sort in the switch, but that's just a shot in the dark. I'd find a shop that specializes in auto electrical and let them diagnose it. Electrical problems are tough to sort out in modern cars and unless you're an electrical guru, you'll probably just waste money and frustrate yourself.
