The offside again goes direct and over the subframe and round into the loom.

I was somewhat confused by the original suggestions but checked all wiring directions, including those wires for the fog lights which in fact run from the end of the bumper from a multi plug. I was able to see around the entire outside of each unit.

As I need to use the car over the next few days, I will put off another attempt until next weekend. Though I may go under the fuse box and have a go there on Monday, so long as I don't break any wires.
