normally when i turn my head lights on, the high beam indicator light only comes on in high beam. but lately its stays lit even when the head lights are dipped - what causes this!(guessing ill need to resolve it before the wof!)

Thats a weird one! If the high beam lights are killed the dash light should be too. You're certain its high beam warning and not a foglamp one! You would have to suspect a dipswitch problem first.

Had it once on a Mazda 323 - it was the stalk, worn I guess. Swapped it out, no more problem.

its a 2006 nissan wingroad.all the fuses are good - all the dash lights work. every thing works as normal - except the high beam indicator light staying on. so would that possibly be the switch in the stalk then>!

Could very well be. Try holding it in place etc. Worth a crack to eliminate it, other than that - Sparky Time

Probably a cracked pentambulator block which is allowing currants to leak through the contacts back into the bulb circuits.

Probably a headlight bulb gone, had this a few times on nissans, Bulb blows and main beam warning light stays on, or the connector to the bulbs has burnt out/poor connection

the prize goes to "sred69"yep one of the headlights was out. but why was the bit that got scary. jiggled the plug and it worked. took the plug off to clean the contacts and discovered one whole side of it was !melted! ( resulting in corrosion on the contact) what on earth would have caused it to get that hot - note no headlamp fuses blown!

It's a Nissan thing.

Wow, I knew Nissan had electrical issues but jeez that's a worry. Glad its sorted.

Lol . I've never worked that one out Mugen, for some reason Nissans melt the little devils on a regular basis, but you only see it on the odd occasion on other vehicles. I imagine Bigfatmat or someone will know the answer.
