Chances are that one or more connections are oxidized or dirty. Are you measuring voltage with the lamp removed or while lit? Could be a connector, the switch, or the base of the bulb. Sometimes removing connectors and re-inserting will clean a dirty connection. Use contact cleaner and sandpaper/small files where practical to clean contacts and connectors.
