Sounds like one of the earth, (neutral), connectors, isn't. The unit will still work as the various lights will earth in series with another, causing the problems you describe. If the unit has more than one earth make sure they're all connected properly, if it only has one then it's possible that an internal connection has failed.
I'd remove all the wires, identify and connect the earths, then connect each live feed in turn to a 12V supply, (the battery), with a flylead as this will obviate any other imperfect connections, if it all works right with the other wires disconnected then a failed connection on the bike is most likely.

Have you made sure the bulbs are fitted correctly, if their 180 degrees out this kind of thing can happen.
