I don't have an answer for you, but did you see this post from earlier this month? Maybe something similar?

i had a similar problem with my neutral light - yep, wiring harness cable ties too tight as per previous topic/threads on this great site.
to fix, i carefully split the associated wiring harness outer sleeve & found the 1 (of the 20 odd wires inside) had torn/worn through to breaking point & just soldered in a new piece of wire, taped the join off & tucked it back into the sleeve & taped it shut - replaced some of the ties with new (looser) ones.
