   Trace you earth wires back,make sure they are clean(free of corrosion)it`s called an EMF back pulse.

   Get yourself a test screwdriver 1 with the light inside,& a Haynes manual.Not being sarcastic but that`s the best way of checking your earth wire/s.

    Sounds like a board might be corroded up somewhere. My rear indicators used to flash with the brake lights, so i took out the bulb holders and cleaned up the corrosion and they worked fine.
