Turn indicator won't stop
I've had a look here (and on other forums) but no-one else has reported this.
I was turning left, indicators working fine, and some buffoon was driving on high beams so I flashed mine. Since then, my left indicator won't stop. It's OK when I turn right but when the arm returns to rest back come the left indicators. Can anyone help?

After you disconnect the battery there will be a number of things that need to be rest and they are covered in the manual I think.
Here is what I know.
The ABS/BAS light is one of the malfunctions created by disconnecting your battery. To fix this, hold down the break, and move the steering wheel all the way to the left; then the right.
Your windows also have lost their auto up/down functions. To fix this, hold down both window buttons 1 click (not all the way) until they are lowered completely. Now press it further (2nd click), and hold it for 10 seconds. Do the same thing for raising it. This will fix your auto windows.
Your moon roof no longer goes back automatically. To fix this, hold the switch in the forward position for 5 seconds, then the up position for 5 seconds.
You also will need your radio code to be able to use your radio.
You may also need to set your seat mirror memories.

I had a similar problem where the windshield wipers would not turn off. It turns out that there was a short in the control stalk and it had to be replaced. Considering that both the indicator and the wipers are on the same stalk it might be the same problem I had. I don't know what it would have cost to replace it as it was under warranty, but the dealer implied that it wasn't cheap.
