Easy to diagnose: take a multimeter, and turn on signal. Measure voltage at the bulb. If there is voltage, it is the bulb. If there is no voltage, then check voltage at end-pins of switch (must take off cluster, but this is fairly easy). If there is voltage, then its the fuse (generic lights, dont remember code and placement). If there is no voltage, then its the switch.

Since you say you can hear the "click-click" of the circuit, then its probably some fuse....

Thats my take....

clean the bulb contacts if you haven't already. Turn off the car, take a small flathead screwdriver, and scrape the contacts until you can see the metal.
