Tried to fix heater control position 1 - now no position works, and left headlight on

Tried to sort out problem with heater control today, and shorted over the fan-control in position 1, and it seem to work, so thought maybe there was just some bad contact between the sliding "lip" and the copper part it slides thru.

 

Well, cleaned it a bit up, and tried to bend it a bit - put battery back in, but noticed the left headlight (mine is a LHD car) came on (I think maybe in parking light), also when I switched the ignition it started to flash the left "flashers" - I can feel the signal relay is working.

 

Also on top of this now non of the heater controls seem to work..

 

I don't think this have anything to do with the heater control though, as I also tried to position the relay box like it is supposed to see (mine have been hanging with the relays pointing downwards since I got it, as for some reason it's realy tight fit), so I must have pulled out or maybe made contact with something back there.

 

 

anyone have ANY idea where I might start looking for this ?

I'm not taking the mickey here, but have you checked that your indicator stalk hasn't simply been knocked into the indicate left position? That'd turn on the left headlamp when the ignition is off, and turn the left indicator on when you put the ignition on...
