Suggestion: check the system for vacuum leaks before delving into more complicated diagnostics. Vacuum line runs from the servo to a t-piece, one leg goes to the pump (on the strut tower) and the other to the pedal switch(es). For an automatic that's one switch, for a manual 2 and another T-piece. Plenty of opportunity for something to start leaking or crack.

For the indicators, I'd say the relay sometimes fails to operate correctly. Grab another one from the pick'n'pull to try.
