the front fog lights and indicators are all connected via the same plug behind the bumper on the nearside, if the bumper's been off before it might not have been reconnected properly. If you peel back the front of the front nearside wheel arch you should be able to see the plug, it's a large square grey one.

I'm a bit confused.
Title no front fogs or indicators on front bumper

From the post, no bulbs out anywhere on the car

do the front indicators and fog lights work or not?

Thanks a lot, you guys. I wasn't confused until I read that you were!

I think the fogs and indicators are not working, the bulb out warning is on and the bulbs are all good.

Newly confused,
Glenn

I take it you are guessing that the op has proved the indicator bulbs and fog light bulbs are working? mmmm I'd like to op to comment on that

Rick-sta's reply seems a sound one. It is a connector I forgot to put back together when I took my front bumper off, only realised when both indictors flashed at nineteen to the dozen

I have highlighted the key word above. Yes, Rick's reply seemed the most plausible.

Cheers,
Glenn

No, not at all. I took it as humour.
