Turn signal ghost!!!

Turn signal ghost!!!
I left my 2005 A4 3.0 Tip with a dealer who "tried" to sell it for me for several months.
Last Saturday I went to pick it up and found that the battery was flat dead! $152.00 later the car started but I also found that my passenger HID low beam was dead. The coolant reservoir was empty, and the tires seriously deflated. I bought a replacement DS1 for $60.00 on eBay and everything is fine... or is it?
When I use the left turn signal, all is fine.
When I try to use the right turn signal I get the first flashing on the right but then it switches to the left. Yes, using the right turn signal will make the left flashers go! WTH???
I was wondering if there was a pending technical bulletin for this. I mean we are talking about a potential accident waiting to happen here!
Has anyone seen anything like this? The car just turned 27k miles and is otherwise in perfect condition.

Believe it or not I have had the same problem. Fortunately I was under warranty. I am not sure of the exact fix to the problem but they did need to remove the entire dash in order to replace a part (or at least thats what i was told). Hopefully you can find an easy fix.

Its just a fault turn signal stock, and no you don't have to remove the entire dash board, the techs write a elaborate story for the warranty clerks so they get paid more. If they say they took this apart (but actually didn't) they get paid more. Get it?
