Indicators and brake lights use the same fuse, so fix one and the other will probably work too. Sounds like the fusebox is wet (as you suspected). I'm almost willing to bet money on the fusebox as main culprit

Is the Multiplug for the fusebox located correctly?? it needs to hook under the lugs first before its pushed home.
Give it a check it happens VERY REGULARLY
