Faulty Front Signal/Turn Light

Hi there,a little problem with my signal light.A few days ago my front right signal light went off and automatically the substitute fog light became the back up turn light.I have replaced the bulb as well as the whole sprocket that holds the bulb and it still doesn't work! My dash indicator still states 2 faults : 'front right turn light faulty' and 'substitude turn light utilised'....or something to that extend. Anyone ever had this problem before? Don't want to send to the any shop coz thought i could handle this myself.

P.S. when i took out the sprocket,noticed that one side of the connection had been sligthly burned(hance the changing of the entire sprocket!) Help please! Thanks!

This is a well known problem. I think there is a service bulletin on this. Take it to the dealer and they will change part of the wiring harness.
