First thing I would check is all of the fuses. The early 944's use the open buss fuse like the old VW's. These can corrode on the ends and cause all sorts of mystery problems. Twisting them sometimes works but I've found it best to remove them one at a time and inspect them.

The major ground is the short strap from the battery to the fire wall. Clean the end at the fire wall. There is a cluster of ground connections above the fuse/relay box. A real PITA to get to unless you drop the fuse block.

Turn signals could be the relay or a bad turn signal unit on the steering column.

The washer pump may be shot. Have to jump it directly to the battery to find out. This is also run off of the turn signal switch assembly on the steering column and through the wiper relay.
