What kind of bulb did you replace it with? You could move it over to the other side to see if it is the bulb or ballast/ignitor.

to trouble shoot; take the problem bulb and switch it to the other side.

if problem follows, its bulb.
if problem doesnt follow, continue troubleshooting by switching ballast to other side.

by process of elimination; you'll find out which one is the culprit
