Evening all. Bit of an odd one this, so just testing the water to see if anyone else has experienced the same issue. My indicators seem to have developed a mind of their own. The left indicator will randomly decide to come on and wont cancel without a long press of the cancel switch, plus pressing the left indicator switch. If I try to indicate right when this occurs, both indicators operate simultaneously, as if the hazards are on. In addition, if I indicate right, it will self cancel after a short period. WTF is going on? I'm assuming water ingress somewhere, but I dont even know where to begin. :nenau
 
Likely to be a failed switch.

The indicator lever pushes down on a micro switch, which you can replace if you can solder (though it is fiddly).

I've done a few. You'll need to search for a switch like the below. I got mine from America, but I believe either motorworks or motorbins started selling them.
