Neons not working properly. *HELP*

I just noticed the other day that my underground neons wont stay on. I start the car, turn them on and then a little bit after that, they turn off. And if I turn the switch off and then back on they will flash on for a second and then go off. But if I turn the car off and turn the key without starting the car, I can turn them on and they stay on. Any idea what the problem could be and any possibly solutions I could try to fix this? Thanks!!
