The first thing to check is the relevant fuses . Not all cars are wired exactly the same, so you will have to look in your drop down dash panel to see which fuses may have been affected, but usually the headlamp flasher unit is fuse 1 and the indicator switch is fed by a purple wire from fuse 8 . It is also important to check that you have a good earth from the indicator/flasher switch casing

EDIT I should also have said that the headlamp flasher wire should be green and yellow

Also worth checking the bullet connector block between the indicator stalk and the loom in case anything has dropped out!
