Instead of disconnecting the battery why not just remove the relevant fuse from the fuse boc.
There is obviously a problem with the light switch or/and the ignition switch.

Contact an auto electrician.
If you have just got the car then if it is covered by some sort of warranty then take it back?

Sounds most likely a COMS 2000 failure - this is the combined lights and wiper stalk unit behind the steering wheel. A common failure on PSA cars that causes problems like this - also known to cause issues with indicators not working / randomly coming on.
