Change the blinker fluid?

Just kidding, I'd check the resistance across the socket to ground and to the positive. You may have a harness section where the insulation has rubbed off.

Sorry, I forgot to update. It wasn't the blinker fluid, but operator error. Apparently I didn't have the bulb in right. It works just fine now. I do want to thank everyone for offering their thoughts and ideas.
