Nearly every time I indicate to go right, my full beem also comes on and is a nightmare to turn off.

 

Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Hi Phil,

I have the same happening on my 2006 XK except for the fact it happens when i turn left!, started soon after I aquired the car 2 1/2 years ago now. My specialist told me it's the stalk that needs replacing however your post just reminded me that i never got around to doing anything about it. So replace it or forget about it and save some dosh and enjoy your car.

Isn't it slightly illegal to have this type of fault?

Try exposing the stalk operating elements and clean up the contacts with contact cleaner.

As the most untechnical person on this planet, I wouldn't know where to start 😏

Hi Phil

Info to help replace the stalk is here: http://www.jagrepair.com/JaguarXFLightStalkReplacement.htm

Lots of other useful info on that site. Sounds like it might be a dodgy contact in the stalk or a faulty Central Junction Box which controls current flow to both the indicators and the headlights. Does indicating turn main beams on even when light switch is off, or does it just move from dipped beam to full beam when the headlights are on and you try turning?
