Take the bulb back out, is the connector rusty? Give it a clean? Try pushing the bulb in whilst the indicator is on, could be a loose connection? Has a fuse gone?

I'm no expert but this is where I'd start.

As above, unplug it and check it with a multimeter for a live feed.

Best bet is probably buy a haynes manual.
