Changed side indicator (driver's side) with brand new bulb. Still not working. All the other lights work.

Any ideas?

Check that the wires on the base of the bulb are lying where they should.

Thanks, I've checked the wires on the bulb, cleaned the contacts etc. and tried another new bulb but still nowt; all the other indicators are working, so guess it can't be a fuse?

Annoying.
