Earth goes up to steering column and into switch, Pop switch off and try putting the 2 wires together to see if it works. If so switch it at fault. If not check the connection at the base of steering column.

when you say switch do you mean the actual indicator stalk? so take a decent earth feed then jumpers it to the blue/black horn earth feed wire?
