Check the fuses under the dash first. Then report back.

The turn signal relay is right there as well, might as well check it while your there...

How thorough were you when you checked the fuses? Sometimes the connections in the panel get loose, the connectors widen out and don't contact the fuses.

Swap it with the other one that is identical to it in the fusebox.

Brown wire from the ignition switch could be burned at the switch.

Ignition switch on the column. It's bad and/or the brown wire's connector is melted.
