Maybe not...that is usually a dual-filament bulb. The dimmer 'parking
light' may be working but the brighter 'turn signal' filament may be
broken. Replace it.

Have you performed your hazard light switch maintenance lately? The turn
signal current path is through the hazard (4-way) switch contacts, but
since they are seldom used, you could get corrosion build-up inside the
hazard switch.
Maintenance: at least once a year, actuate the hazard switch AT LEAST 10 -
12 times. You may find that your turn signals work better after that.
Here's Hoping,
