Technical Fiat Brava indicator problems

[bougedela]

Hi!
New to this site
Have fiat brava w reg 1.8litre ELX

On a very wet journy my indicators (all 4) decided to come on and stay on. Temporary solution was to take out the hazard fuse which turned lights off. When indicating (with fuse out) hazards come on.

I've replaced the indicator/ hazard relay under the steering column today... no change...

Has anyone got any good ideas?? Can't help but think this was water related as the day it happened was long journey in very wet weather, odd shorting sound coming from passenger side...

PLEASE HELP!!!

it definately sounds like damp is causing a short. this is not uncommon on the bravo/a range. usual cause is one of the rear light connectors. squirt wd40 on all bulb holders and connectors.

When i say indicators stay on, I mean on continuously and not flashing...
but hazards will flash...
Its driving me bonkers!!

thanks for that
turned out to be a short on the front fog lamps. tracked it down by replacing hazard fuse and then sequentially removing other fuses until indicators turned off (from all four continuously lit), it was one of the "services fuse thats for the internal lights and fog lamps...
