It sounds like the problem is the ground on the left side is bad. If the light grounds through the mounting hardware then you will want to make sure the light is attached to a clean metal surface. I would remove the light assembly and check to make there is no rust or corrosion and fix as necessary.
If the assembly grounds through a wire I recommend you trace that wire back to where it terminates to confirm that where it attaches is clean and free of rust and corrosion as well.
