Hi folks
I have a 2005 Ford Focus 1.6TDci. Yesterday I came out to find the wipers and indicators going, even though I had keys in my hand. I turned on the ignition and everything stopped so I started the car and it drove no problem. It happened again as soon as I stopped the car and took the key out of the ignition.

Any ideas what could have caused this please?

Have you considered demonic possession? Call a priest for an exorcism.
