No front light, indicators, washers etc.

After sorting the "2.9 12v, no spark - mouse ?" problem by replacing the coil I have discovered much of the electrical equipment doesn`t work. The non-functioning bits include:-
Front headlights, sidelights & foglights
All indicators
High speed wipers ( and wiper park )
Windscreen washer
Working bits include:-
Hazard flashers
Rear lights
Brake lights
Heater fan, instrument & interior lights.
I assume ( hope ! ) something has been dislodged whilst poking about sorting the other problem, any suggestions where best to start ?
TIA

Underside of the fusebox for a start. It is common for the connectors to come loose,more usually affecting headlamps.
Access up and under above the gas pedal,remove a bit of trim,get your bum in the air and you should see it.

Paul, I seem to recall that you had disconnected the battery?. Previous posts have referred to a black lead to the battery which can fall behind the battery and get 'missed' in the re-connection process. Just a thought.HTH Simmo

Thanks for advice, problem now solved ( don`t know about the "bum in the air" bit, with my disability it would require a large amount of grease and a small crane to get me up on my feet again  ).
Turns out that the large black plug in front of the drivers side fusebox ( under the cover, secured with a metal catch ) had not been replaced properly. Now all is fine.
Many thanks,
Paul Boulden

Good job I am not a surgeon,would have done a lobotomy instead of an ingrown toenail! 
All is well.
