Bad ground. I usually snake a piece of enameled wire from the base up the tube and solder it to the base ground lug and a tab protruding from the bottom of the platform.

Unfortunately i do not know how to do that.
First, check ALL wiring connections from transformer to base of accessory and tighten any screws if necessary. Socket center contact may need adjustment with a small screwdriver. If all that checks out, you may need the additional ground wire as suggested above. Take it to your local shop for them to do the work.

I can move/spin the base the bulb sits in...is that normal?
The lamp base should be secure to the frame for a good ground connection. See if you can tighten it, and that might solve your problem. Good luck!

How does it tighten? I see a small nut underneath is that all it is? Thanks again everyone.
