Bad ground wire or socket and pigtail on dim lamp. Unplug lamp, clean contacts on it and socket. Plug back in. If it works you fixed it! You may have to replace socket, Auto Zone carries them,etc. cut ol one off, splice in new one. 99% of time it is the connection at lamp.
If not follow ground wire and clean contact point to body and/ or frame...LOL
