No clue for now but why was battery 'flat' as you call it?

They don't sell that car where I am and doesn't matter the switch to turn them on may be shorted to something that only works when engine is running?

For now you could if just the flashers are the issue take the flasher out and probably will need help to find out why and where.

Wild guess could be if battery has made a mess of acid on wires under it or was real wet too making a mess that some wiring MIGHT have been damaged,

could it be as simple as the hazard switch got turned on? check manual. if you don't have one look for a button with red triangle on it.

Sounds like it has an alarm system that got reset and needs to be shut off. Try locking all the doors and unlocking at the driver's door using the key.
