yyyHaving had the same problem myself, and done a lot of research, the answer is that there is a known design fault with 406 (and some 306) indicator stalks that leads to random flashing. The original part manufacturer went bust because they couldn't cope with all the warranty replacements.
Peugeot will replace it if the car is in warranty and even out of warranty on a case by case basis. If you get your car serviced by a dealer then they might replace it out of warranty to keep your business. Most people don't realise that consumer law requires all goods to be fit for purpose and withstand reasonable wear and tear - irrespective of warranty period. You don't hear of other manufacturer's indicator stalks packing up after 3 or 4 years from new
I managed to keep mine going for quite a while by wiggling the stalk vigourously up / down / back & front for a minute or two - make sure the ignition is off.
I think the problem is that the internal switch parts wear and the switch contacts touch when they shouldn't. I looked at taking mine apart, but it's not made for servicing. Dealers charge around £70 for a new stalk but you can get them for £40 or less. They are easy to fit if you are basically competent in DIY. Just find the screws under the steering column bottom cover and remove the top cover. The stalk is held in by a couple of screws and there is a push fit connector for the cable.
