Is the light stalk faulty?

Sounds like it to me.

well, id thought of that. but when you test the fuse board neither side shows 12v on all four lighting fuses. where are the relays located?

It could be the fusible links corroded away on the rh inner wing.They are part of the loom and run from behind the battery back through the bulkhead.Often happens on cars where the inner wing is rotted through and water and salt get in and rot them.
