If the indicators activate when turning the steering wheel without operating the corresponding stalk, or conversely, do not activate when the stalk is used, it is likely a false contact issue caused by contamination on the tracks where the sliding contacts operate.

You can try cleaning the contacts with a suitable spray, avoiding the use of penetrating oils or unlocking sprays.

Spray the contact cleaner while moving the lever through all its positions, then dry with compressed air.
