Check that the earth is ok for the lamp. Does the sidelight work ok?

Try undoing the bullet connectors that go to the indicator lamp and clean the bullets with a piece of emery or wet and dry paper. Or if the female connector is dodgy (they can break internally) replace it with a new one.

ALso check the bulb holder itself is not corroded where the bulb fits.
Cheers John - all comments IMHO

Most likely is the bulb holder -if the bulb itself is ok.
