    ok ever since the weekend my car's indicators have been acting weird.
    when i want to turn left for example the left indicators come on but the right one flickers and tries to come on too, it also happens if i turn right, the left one will flicker and try to come on.
    i think its wires crossing but i wouldn't know where to look or if its even that.

    pull it out clean the inside of the switch out. pull it apart and have a look to see if something has broken. if it dosnt look right i would recomend replacing the switch

    switch looked alright, still didn't indicate properly.
    took it to a sparky today, they couldn't find the problem but after they put it all back together its working fine, i think my cars possessed!

    seems like it is
    it could also have been a dodgy hazard switch.or a stuck on one
    when the sparkies checked it they would have pressed all the buttons and by chance fixed it
