Change the indicator bulb and make sure all connections are good where it sits.

This problem sounds like a bad earth on theinstrument cluster. The current in the direction indicator bulb (L or R) should go thru the bulb to earth, but if the earth is bad, it may be going thru other bulbs to their earths or somewhere else. Check the earthing on the cluster board. You may also have a broken track on the printed circuit board. Trace the tracks to and from the indicator bulbs. If you see a break, you can dab a bit of solder over it and it should be OK.
