Obviously the easiest way to check if the bulb is out is to either turn on the signal and then go see if it is flashing. If it is the socket you are interested in. You can go buy a set of bulbs that look just like the one you took out and put a new one in. If you don't want to buy a set of bulbs and have a voltmeter and test if you are getting power.

Usually when ones turn signal is blinking fast its telling you that a turn signal bulb (and in some cases a brake light bulb) is out. If it blinks fast when you turn on the the left signal the burnt out bulb is on that side of the vehicle (could be front or rear bulb so you'll have to check). And vice versa
Remove the turn signal light bulb connector. Take hold of the light bulb, push in and turn at the same time, to remove the light bulb. Reverse the process to install the new light bulb.
