Odd Intermitent Issue

Okay, so every once in a while my left blinker indicator (the one on the dash) fails to light up. It's an LED bulb. So it either works or it doesn't. I'm not sure if the bulb is coming loose in the socket? Sometimes it'll work for a whole week. And then just goes out again.

Also, when the bulb goes out the turn signals still work fine. So its something specific to the indicator bulb. What can I check short of ripping the ENTIRE dash apart?

Thanks.

The dash indicator is in parallel with the external indicators, so if they are working fine, then the system still sees the proper load. I'm thinking its is a bulb problem, maybe a bad solder or something.

Load is not an issue. I have an LED compliant flasher. It will blink at the same rate no matter what is on the end.

But, the indicator being in parallel does lean me toward a bulb problem of some kind. Thanks.
