If there is power to the plug, there may be an open on the ground side. I would check that the ground side is actually grounded (measure ohms to a ground reference). May be an open wire (like maybe a rodent got to it) or a corroded connection. I might pull the bulb out and clip a resistor or maybe just the blub so you can measure the voltage and/or current getting to the bulb.

Yeah because I check wire before plugging bulb it has power plug the bulbs loses power and then leave it a couple minutes has power in it again I’ve tightened up the ground but tomorrow I’ll look see if I see any chewed up wires
