Default Turn signal dark

Right front turn signal on my '07 Deluxe lights up only when flashing (which it does properly). Is this a just bulb problem, or do I need to look elsewhere? Stuck at home (sick) for a few days, so I'm just trying to figure what to do when I recover.

Bulb or ground. Have you had it or the handlebars apart recently? If not, the bulb is certainly the first thing to change. Simplest first.

Make sure bulb is plugged in all the way and that you have a dual filament bulb. Don't ask me how I know.

Haven't had anything apart lately, and I'm sure it worked properly in recent past. It seems that I had the same problem a few years ago on another bike, just can't remember what was the solution -- but I'll bet on the bulb. I'll get a couple of bulbs later this week.

Thanks!
