Cant remember mate, but this issue doesn't happen to be something along the lines of the light going mental does it? If so turn the plug around.

Bad earth normally caused by the corrosion on the pins even though they are galvanised pins.
I drill a hole 4mm in the track(earth) poke a pre tinned wire through after scraping galvanise off track around hole and solder a wire in then earth nearby, never fails, do both sides.
