are you turning the power off to the indicator relays then...think you need to make it permanent live

fog light should stay on past the sidelight position. It's tough sometimes using bought looms as you can't see exactly what’s feeding
what. The fog light should be getting its power from the wire that feeds the dip/main relay, not as I think you have the dip only. Think you also need
to have a fused + feed to the hazards too, if the relay is clicking but the lights not working then swap the fed for the indicators to permanent live,
had to do this with my falcon.

Rear fog is OK like that. Lots of tin-tops are wired that way. Think my fury is as well.
Can't comment on the hazards as I strained my brain trying to get mine to work!

I assume you have a 5-blade changeover relay to switch between dip and main beam. Its a safe bet you have got the feed for the foglight coming off the
dipped light wiring AFTER the relay and so when you put the main beam on you have no power in that circuit. You need to take the feed to the fog from
the input side of the relay.
linky
Looking at the diagram for the 5-blade changeover in the link, your fog feed is likely to be on the cable between pin 87a and the lights. You need to
put it to the feed that goes to pin 30 instead.
As above though - its probably not a bad thing to have it wired that way as you shouldnt need main beam in foggy conditions

Generally, the hazard switch will ensure that the indicator flasher is fed from the switched live when the hazard switch is in the normal position,
which means you can't leave the indicators on when the ignition is off.
When the switch is in the hazard position, the flasher is fed from permanent live so you can have hazards on when ignition is off.
I'm not sure about the current regs but it used to be the case that the foglight came on only with the dips as you wouldn't want to drive
in fog with main beams.
