    I have 360 spider and the third brake light is not working, I cleaned all contacts still nothing. I was testing the ground and it appears the entire engine lid has no earth connection.
    Do these lids just ground via the hinges or is there a separate earth strap?

    So they only earth when the lid is closed- through the latch itself?

    Do you have 12 volts power to the contact?

    The ground seems to be on the other side

    Maybe you could take a photo of the both contacts (if visible) on the F430
