It sound's like a peck and hunt type of thing. Wonder if it is bleeding through a switch some where. Sorry to say get one of those voltage testers with the light in it. I don't know if the dimmer switch on the dash could bleed over or not. Maybe some thing bleeding back on the ground.

You bet it can drive a man crazy to locate something like that. But better than paying someone else's and they muck it up for you. Russ.

“. Wiring diagram?
What would you say is knowledge of electronic?
Suspect ground fault

Then turn signal switch is suspect and likely source of ground fault. Wire in column may have cracked or chafed
