I'd suggest getting your hands on a wiring diagram (if you don't already
have one) so you can trace the wiring and make sure of power from the
battery to the switch, and maybe beyond that point, too. Turn signals are
almost always switched through the ignition either directly or by a
relay. It's also common practice on Japanese cars to switch the ground
side of a circuit rather than the power side. I've come across circuits
where both the power supply wire and the ground wire in a circuit are
fused. Unusual, but maybe worth a look.
In any case trying to sort this out without a diagram is going to a real
chore.
FWIW,
