You have an electrical problem with your cluster, check the traces on the back to make sure the ones leading to the turn signals haven't "leaked" over to another.

You see all those nifty copper traces back there? Occasional something causes two or more of them to bridge. By leaking, you'll see mysterious brown stains crossing one or more of the traces, just scratch a gap in the bridge and your set. You will understand what I mean if they are present.
