Hi all,
I know that this problem has been discussed before, but I could not find a solution. Here it is.
I have got K11 Micra Shape 1.0L (P reg). The right hand side headlight (drivers side) stopped working one day and the full-beam lamp on the dash was on (only on dipped headlights), although I am not on full-beam. When on sidelights, there was a buzzing sound coming from the dash (stops when dipped or full-beam headlights).
I searched the forum and checked fuses (everything OK, engine compartment and driver side under steering column), though one connection on the bulb holder had melted. Replaced it and the buzzing sound stopped, but the full-beam lamp is still on. Both headlights are working (sidelights, dipped, full beam). I even checked the indicator stalk, as per fordy's description, but could not find anything wrong with it.
On top of that, I left the car one day, to return and the sidelights were on, although I remember that they were not on when I left it. The switch on the stalk was OFF, but the sidelights were on. Somehow they switched OFF.
I think it may be an earth connection problem, but do not really know where to look for these connections. Where are they, engine compartment or drivers footwell.
Will be extremely grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks a lot guys.
