Sounds like the turn signal relay box on a 1500 model acting up.

This may otherwise be a dirty contact in the relay.

This is likely to have more than one problem. Diagnostic instructions are
extensive. Check here:

If you should perchance have a 1600 model with no relay, then see here:

and ignore everything else pertaining to the 1500 type relay.
I have sent a more detailed response to Mike privately.
