When my headlights are off the indicators work normally. Also with sidelights.
But when I turn the headlights on, either dipped or full beam, the right hand indicator lights up (both the actual indicator and the green light on the dash). It doesn't blink like an indicator does when activated deliberately, it stays on permanently. Note that I'm not moving the stalk at all, just turning the knob on the end to switch on the lights.
In this state, if I try to use the indicators they work intermittently, but when switched off go back to the RHS on permanently with the lights.
I've never come across anything like this before. I guess it could be a faulty relay, though why it happens only when the headlights are on and not with the sidelights, I cannot fathom.
I think the fault could date back to when I was trying to diagnose an alarm problem and I pulled and tested every fuse I could find, and I may have disturbed one of the relays? (I hadn't used the van at night until recently, so the problem never showed until now).
