Are your turn signals self canceling? Are they working? Could be your speed sensor gone bad. Happened to me.
Low speed would die, turn sigs wouldn't self cancel. I had to buy a new speed sensor and put it in.
Solved the problem for me!
I would also clean the battery cables really well and trace them to be sure they aren't broken or cracked.

Sounds a bit like what mine was doing. Ended up being a relay switch, which is bolted to frame behind the rear stone guard. Relay had just rusted away. I replaced it with a new plastic one. All good now. Worth a look at, good luck
