Hello Kat,

It sounds to me like you could have a bad ground connection. I have uploaded the wiring diagram for that circuit it shows the grounds and there locations. Rotate them in your image program I had to put them sideways to get it to fit at a good readable size. Do you have a test light? If you don't see an obvious broken ground wire we will have to do some tests to isolate which component isn't working properly.

Let me know,

Tom
