First, since the signal wasn't working, remove the light assembly and inspect the wiring at the light socket. Check it for damage, corrosion, or anything out of the ordinary. Also, remove the bulb and inspect inside where the bulb goes to make sure the connectors inside are not damaged or touching.

Let me know what you find.
