mini electrics

[ch427]

I have a strange electrical problem going on with the car. The indicators have started to have a life of their own, they seem to work but the dash indicator lamps and the flasher clicking is not heard. Also the dash lights have dimmed while this was happening and the hazard switch does not work when this fault happens. They do come back to life and work again but its an odd fault
Any ideas on common faults on theses cars, its a 2006 mini one
