Default Re: Newbie with indicator problem

I've got a 53 coupe that we've had for a year or so with no problems.
A few weeks ago the car stalled and wouldn't fire up again. Having trawled the net I found the RCM repair for "mystery no start" so I whipped out the soldering iron and did the fix. All good for a few days! (I'm not sure that has anything to do with my current problem but thought it worth mentioning)
I took the car out one evening and when I returned to it later I noticed the indicators (turn signals) down one side were all lit. The door was locked and obviously the ignition off. I got home and parked the car and of course found it with a flat battery the next day.
Having borrowed a booster pack I got it fired up no problem but the indicators were still stuck on not flashing.
If I pressed the hazard switch the other side came on but again didn't flash.
I took the car for a spin and at some point the indicators on the other side then got stuck on too!
I've tried pulling fuses, the relay and even unplugged the hazard switch but none of these turn off the lights!
Please help. No one wants to see a grown man cry!
Thanks in advance.
Check the locking mechanism in the trunk for water damage, also when you lock or unlock the car with the key fob what do the lights do? Do they flash or not ?
