Full Beam coming on with indicator

[Bongoplotter]

Hi Folks, over the past few baking hot days, my full beam has been coming on along with the left indicator. When the outside temperature cools, then all starts working normally again. Could it be also linked to the fact that the right indicator disply on the dashboard isn't flashing as, I guess, the bulb has gone? Any advice on how to replace the bulb would be much appreciated, thanks.

That's a bit of an odd one.
Do the headlights Full and Dipped operate normally on the stalk ?
Is the flashing rate normal, not slow or faster for the Left indicator ?

As regards the non-flashing dashboard light for the Right indicator, drop the steering wheel down to give more room, then remove the fascia screws 4 as I recall, to remove the fascia, then the dashboard itself can be released and pulled forward, unplug the three connectors and it can be removed and the light replaced from behind.

Is it possible to return to dipped beam while still indicating left? Or does this situation occur even when the lights are not turned on?

Many thanks to Markas & g8dhe. I just changed the dead bulb for the right indicator, so all is working there now. Markas, this happens when the lights are off, in broad daylight and very hot sun! Once the outside temperature has cooled down in the evening, then all works perfectly again. All other bulbs seem fine, nothing is flashing faster than normal and full & dipped headlights are operating normally from the stalk. It's definitely related to the hot weather!
Thganks again for your advice.

If you have any freezing spray try spraying the stalk switch area, I would imagine any heat related problems are likely to show up there as the stalk switches are quite compact, once the wiring has left that area there is little chance of them interacting electrically anywhere else to cause that sort of fault. You might find just moving the wiring around in that area might even cure the problem.

Thanks g8dhe. Been driving around in the baking hot sun again today and all was well, no sign of the full beam coming on with the left indicator, so it could have been a weird combination of the dead bulb & hot weather. I'll keep the freezing spray in mind though incase the problem recurs.
Thanks again

My suggestion was going to be the earth as above. I had a similar fault years ago on a Peugeot. With that it ended up that the rear cluster was earthed in the engine bay and the wire broke down over time. It was a simple fix for that my adding an earth write to a bolt in the boot. However it instantly fixed all the wacky things that were happening.
