My trusted service manual shows that it has a grounding wire which I also grounded but not to where it shows in the manual. Could this be the source of my problems or is the switch bad on that side of the light? I do not have any voltage testers as of yet but I see the need coming soon.

Sounds like you may have attached the wiring backward. Try swapping the wire connections and see if that doesn't fix the problem.
