I had this happen with ny Sonars a few years ago. Opened it up and a wire was loose on the board. Soldered it back in place and its worked perfectly since. Might be worth a shot to open up the light and check out the wiring.

sounds like a loose connection to me... if not you might just need a replacement, but i think its a connection
