brown wire will be an earth yeah, bare the end and touch it to chassis then try again see if problem is solved. if it is, solder it up and run properly either to battery -ve or splice to one of the other brown wires to your lights on that side

check all brown wires to the lights and the indicators for continuity to the battery -ve with a multimeter. i.e. put it on the setting where it beeps or 1 goes to 0 when the ends are touched together and poke it between battery -ve and the brown wires
try cleaning up the pins if they look dirty as well, could just be a poor connection
