It sounds like a possible issue with the wiring in the steering column (all the wiring for those including ignition run down it) or maybe even the "multi- fuction" switch (wipers/indicators/headlights attached to steering column). This may be a long shot but ive heard of some interesting practical jokes such as people placing a jumper in the fuses to make the horn go off with the indicators amd whatnot. Electrical gremlins are a nightmare ive been trying to chase one myself for months, i wish you the best of luck.
