check for corrosion in the socket, battery terminal cleaner helps get the junk out, then use dielectric grease when you put the bulb back in

Do you hear the ticking noise when you turn on the signal? If not, it is probably an issue with the Signal Stat which would be located in the fuse area. I had this happen to me in the past.

It is the bulb it happened to me once and btw my bulb just went out again. The easiest way to find out is put your parking lights on and get out of the car and look at the bulb.

There are two flashers.
One is for the left/right signals,
The other one is for the hazards.

If one side works and the other doesnt, then there is nothing wrong with the flasher.

Turn on the hazards and look for the bulb that either isnt flashing, flashing erratically, or not lit at all. That will be the culprit. The front and rear turnsignals are dual filament. The dim fiament is for the "parking" lights and the brighter filament is for brake lights and signals.

Once you've found the offending bulb inspect its socket. Either the socket has corroded or the bulb has blown.

So all the signal bulbs flash properly, but the indicator in the gauge cluster doesn't? That is very odd. I thought it shared the same curcuit. Which would make this situation impossible.
