Probably only one of two things causing it:

The switch itself is broken. This is likely because its the part thats always moving.

The other could be a relay that is broken in the ON position but that is unlikely but easier to test/check.

If it was me, I would pull the wiring diagram, find if there are anyt relays for this and which they are. Then I would pull the relays and test them with a simple meter to check for function. I would remove/install them and see what happens. If I can convince myself the relays are fine, I would pull out the stalk and replace it with a junkyard stalk.
