Default Sensitive fog light switch!

So Ive had the fog light mod for a while now and just the other day I noticed that when I put my turn signal on the fog lights turn off then come back on. I saw that the fog light switch is really sensitive and when ever I touch the headlight lever it triggers the fogs to turn off and come back on. Any suggestions on what it could be?

Thanks Everything going to the fuse box is good and still connected. Im going to check going to the switch by the steering wheel. And yes sometimes it doesn't come on I have to keep turning it off and on for it to work again.
