have you tried working the hazard switch?
i get several cars in at work with indicators not working, but the hazards do. Usually give that a working and a bit of electrical spray gets the indicators working as it cleans up the contacts in the switch

Question

The hazards don't work either. Tonight when i came home the dashboard light was also not working. That is working now. I located the fuse box and all the fuses are in order. The indicater unit< is that one of the boxes located on the far right inside the bonnet? right against the body.

Finally found the relays. They are all behind the fuse box. The user manual only numbers the fuses 1-22 but the relays are not numbered. There are about 6 or more ralays. i can't find anywhere that tells me which is which and the spare parts shop wants a sample. what to do.... i'll take a wild guess and say the red one is the one because that's how i feel. anyone that has the answer, please share with me.
thanks.

not sure on all of them, but the relay is usually on the stalks behind the cowling on the fiesta/ka
