Sounds like your body control module to me. I had a similar problem with my VR and when locking the car - the passenger side indicators would remain on. Holden kept replacing the indicator flicker unit and hazard light unit. But the module controls this function. I got another module but had to get holden to program the keys.

pop your bonnect and unclip the fuse box on the drivers side.....
(the long rectangualr one) now up the top side (closer to window) are 4 fuses (depending what options u have on the car) if you look at the cover and fuse layout
you'll see a 10amp red one (bcm) remove it for at least 30 secs
and put it back in...see how that goes
