BMW Repair/turn signals?

Question
only my driver-side turnsignals work? I got new relays, checked the fuses, checked all bulbs and sockets. I bought it like this. any suggestions or things to recheck?

Answer
I suggest getting a voltage tester (basically a light in a probe with a wire to ground).  Should be able to get one for less than $10.

Go to the switch for the turnsignals themselves, and see if you get power going through the switch.  Odds are it's this switch, and you're only getting power going to the drivers side.  

If you can't get to the switch, or need more help, send me another note, and let me know what model of BMW this is.
