I guess that the live connection for the horn is not insulated, and is toucing the earth on the back of the wheel, or the boss kit itself? I had this problem, so I just taped up the connections and had no problems with it since.
As for the indicators, there should have been a metal circle on the back with a tab on it, and its the tab whch turns off the indicators.
Hope this helps mate!
