brown wire at the relay should be live when ignition switch is on. orange wire into the switch is the live feed to the indicators. if the brown is live at the (relay) + you've got no power at the orange at the switch the relay is your problem

Do the lights come on and dont flash :?: then the contacts have welded shut, or if the dont come on at all peel it open carefully a the bottom, it may well be the the bi-metal strip is stuck open they get a bit tired after a while. if your gentle you can "adjust it" so it touches and then it should be ok :) ..........or if you cant be arsed just get a new one :lol:
