I've had the intermitent indicator problem before, but your fan is not working either, that sounds like too much of a co incidence

Check the fuses again and make sure they are the correct rated fuses. Also re indicators, I'd suspect relay too, mine went on my old car, the relay box is on the back of the indicator stalk, you'll need to remove the steering colomn cowling to get at this.

Hope you get it sorted

Check the bunch of earths on the pass side inner wing, just above the horn. Ive had problems with them corroding just before they are crimped and causing bad earths.

Side repeater is earthed there and im fairly sure the fan is too.
