Have a look at your main fuse box/body control module, may have had water ingress.

Bloke at work had some weird electrical faults with one and was found to have water in it.

These are only programmable by dealers or anyone with IDS , and I think the As Built data needs to be downloaded from Ford to programme the new module.

Fix the earths and try it. It's worth checking the fusebox properly (even if it means taking it out) for water ingress

just run a provisional one around the outside of the van to test to see if it improves, if it does then you can either find the problem or just put a new cable from the light connector and bolt direct to the chassis by it. it defiantly sounds like a bad earth to me.

Only common issue is wrong bulbs or corroded plug/socket/bulb holders.
