If its an s2 rs turbo then behind the passenger headlight.

Make sure the earth has a good contact and that the connector isnt rusted if it is then chop it off and put a new one on!

Do you have power to a side with the ignition AND whilst indicating in that direction?

If not then you have a power problem, not a ground issue.

Think there is a relay on the indicator stalk aswell, might worth a check.
