Right interior blinker light not working?

I was driving my car today and noticed that when I got to indicate right, the green arrow won't light up but the left one will and it worked before. Could this be a blown fuse or a bad lightbulb?. I'm hoping it's a fuse or something because I'm not looking forward to taking my dash apart just to replace a lightbulb. thanks in advance

No fuse is going to cause that, it is either the socket lost contact or more likely a bad bulb. Need to do that on mine now that I think about it, the right side is out on mine and I know it is a bad bulb.

If your right hand turn signals(front and back) are working,then it's the bulb in the cluster gauge.

I would be checking the printed circuit board then, it is likely the socket connections have worn through the copper causing an intermittent problem. They do wear over time, and usually right at those connections.
