Hello Matthew, When you are earthing the test light to? If there is power to the copper connectors, and you are earthing to the body, then the earth side of the copper connectors could be dodgy. That could also explain why your fuel gauge works when given a beating, the bashing might be knocking the earth good again for a second before it falls back off.
