My right front turn signal went out. Took it to the dealer thinking it was the bulb but the bulb was good. I ended up taking it to my indie and he had to wire in a jumper wire. I would start with that.

I had the same problem, just replaced the connector end. Tried new bulb's and cleaning the connections and just could not get the bulb to light. Again the final resolution was to replace the bulb holder.
