At the baack of the fuse box you will see two small relays usually white. Remove them and check the terminals underneath for corrosion or melting. Also check the lighting fuses usually about 4-6 of them.

Try another stalk switch, or check the earths to the lights to see if they are earthing properly. Have you made sure the bulbs havent blown both sides although this wouldnt explain the clicking noise from the dash.
