Redo the earths should help

Will it make a difference as I haven’t done anything to the earths, my front left indicator wasn’t working so I wired it in with the back left and then my problems started?

Where various lights come on unexpectedly I’ve found it’s poor earths, If you have the wiring diagram , the colours very simple to identify so it would have been either live or negative issue . So remaking the earths around the front grille always a good start, both front and rear left indicators 12v are green/red and come from the same feed before splitting to front and back so work from there towards front indicator and it will be poor 12v wire/connection or earth not working

yes
why wasn't it working? probably earth
if you disconnect it again does the problem go away? I bet it does

Having spent a few hours scrambling around underneath mine and some awkward nooks and crannies I found, mostly for my sanity, that a bit of blue or green masking tape wrapped around or just stuck on all the terminals or connections I had checked stopped me from utterly confusing myself. If you do find yourself scrambling about down below be armed with a rag, a toothbrush, WD40, aforementioned tape, a sharpie pen and a small torch………….. that flippin works.

Where are the best places to look

See the black arrow head symbols in @Dorset_dumpling's diagram above ? They are the earth points and will be on the body, chassis or engine near the item they are earthing.

As Tottot says follow the diagram above. If you can print it off it helps but if you keep a systematic approach ticking over in your head and start with the big boys, (battery/alternator/starter), use the masking tape or sharpie pen idea to track where you have already been it gets easier. I found three joins that were just hanging in there and the wire and spade connector for the oil pressure light had parted company so get some crimping practice in then do it for real.
