Is the harness plug attached to both the harness and the light?
It's difficult to get to the plug,you usually have to slide the bumper forward and grope up behind it to find the connector(I am assuming a plastic bumper version as you did not tell us!)
Then you need to check for power at the plug.

Ben,the OP clearly states OSF!BenHar wrote:Daimler man, I think you may be thinking about the wrong indicator. Side indicators are nowhere near the bumper.
Ben
Of course,if you know far better than I,perhaps you would care to answer the question,rather than attempting to poke fun at those who are trying to help a new zoner.

He clearly states NSF, not OSF, but I can see the confusion too. Either way, I thought both plugs (bumper indicator and wing indicator) share the same wiring to the hazard switch, and only split under the dashboard. I'd be checking there, and possibly for earth issues.

That was a genuine typo....
IF we are talking about the wing repeater,I would be starting by making sure that it's plugged in to the dashboard harness,but no doubt Ben has a completely different idea that I am longing to read!
