Default eletrical problems help please

hi all ,

so I have changed the complete wiring loom on the p100 with a sierra cosworth one so it all fits the way it should and just to make the change over a bit easier , however I have got problems with it ,

I only have a right hand side side light , no head light or full beam

no side light , head light or full beam on the left side

I do have the indicator's working on both sides and the back lights

on the rear lights I have no stop/tail or fog

there doesn't seem to be any power to the connector at the front or the rear .

all fuses are ok , I have changed over relays and still no joy , all earths are on that I can see

the switches on the steering stock I am guessing are fine as they worked with no problems before

so anyone with any ideas would be great as its doing my head in

Thanks

yea I was thinking that , I will try the stock switch first , there is a part that's been joined by someone on the passengers side but don't know if to cut it out and make a new join , not the easiest to get to now with the rad and coolers in place if need be I will strip it out again

sidelight can be wired in from the other working 1, but investigate the dodgy wire first

main lights could be relay prob
