Electrical glitch

[Babyface]

Just picked up a 2011 ssv2
Has a bunch of electrical issues with front end and hoping someone has a clue at all,..
Problems I have found so far:
*projector headlight high beams constantly on when lights are on
*parker lights won’t work from the switch but both flash when indicators are on
*headlight indicators won’t work (hazards inc)
*window washer bottle pump doesn’t work but when I pull the indicator stalk the parkers cone on?..
*horn doesn’t work
And last but not least the thermo fans don’t seem to be working?

Am wondering if any of this could be linked ie indicator stalk, clock spring, light switch etc

Ive checked all fuses and relays, both main earth connections in the front.
All seems fine?

any advice is appreciated
Thank you in advance

Keep going . It's Earth leads.

Triple check the big one left side.
Use a meter and measure over Earths looking for +ve volts.
Problem is finding a good earth to use with your issue. Your best bet maybe a jumper lead from the battery.

There is a few earth points inside the car under the dash somewhere from memory. I too think you are looking at an earthing issue. They may share a common earth.

The not cool thing would be the BCM having a fault. That switches earths on and off to operate some circuits. Something may have given up in it. They might be repairable. There are specialists.

Do the easy stuff above first though.

Thanks mate. I’ve sorted the problem
As lazyc said it’s pointing in direction of front left earthing point and sure enough I noticed that the previous owner had fitted a plastic growler Ss induction kit and used the main location bolt to anchor it. This meant the plastic sorround was acting as a washer of sorts and stopping the bolt from completing a solid contact! Haha can’t believe it was that simple. This forum is brilliant! Cheers
