I may or may not be able to provide any help for you, but no one can unless you provide a bit more information.  Year, trim, is this a new to you car, have you done any work on it that may have affected the radio, etc.  Welcome to the forum.

When you say switching, do you mean when you select Satellite, it immediately goes back to FM? Or does it switch between the two on its own? Also, does it switch back to FM if you select AM or another source?

When I set it to satellite a couple seconds later it switches to fm

 all by itself,only does this when set to satellite

Those couple seconds before it switches to FM, does it play the preview channel or is there no sound at all? There may be an issue internally with the radio or the Satellite antenna. I'd lean towards an issue internally with the radio though. You may have to swap it out with either a new aftermarket head unit or a used factory head unit.
