Hi,

my micra has developed a buzzing sound that occurs
randomly when side lights are switched on,
this appears to come from a small gray box benieth
stearing wheel.
if this is a relay are they easy to replace (generic)
or does it have to be nissan specific.

cheers

This may not be relevant, but I had a very similar fault recently on my
old Nissan Bluebird.
When you switched sidelights on, the lighting control unit (behind the
radio) buzzed. When you switched headlights on, they worked dip and
hi-beam, but the 'beam' light was permanently on.

Turned out just to be a blown bulb, but blown in such a way it was
shorting something out; the bulb had partly welded itself to the
connecting plug and had to be extracted using a pair of pliers.
So first, check the bulbs before changing the lighting control box,
which is expensive (90 pounds for the Bluebird; fortunately I didn't
need one)
