Re: Bad Ground....but, where?

Quote:
I have the same problem with one of my bumper marker/turn signal lights. It appears that the contact between the bulb and socket terminals/ground is wonky. I ordered a new one to see if it helps. Twisting the wires moves the contact pad relative to the bulb and makes it work....not a ground issue.
I think you are right and it is the light itself. Seems like the bulb socket is not grounding to the light housing. I will run a ground from the battery to the back of the light socket and see if that gives me what I'm after.
