Turn Signal or Bulb?

I have a 1992 Ford Tempo. It just started doing this thing where the left-turn signal doesn't "flicker," it just glows steadily. On the other hand, if you apply the emergency flashers, it does flicker.

Is this likely the bulb, or something else? If it's "something else," is it apt to be expensive? And lastly--why in the world do they make that bulb so tough to get to? The whole engine is practically in the way.

I found the particular bulb (2396) and swapped the left & right in the back. The behavior didn't change any at all.

Thanks for the advice. By the way, how easy is it to change the flasher, where is it etc?
