Have you got a meter you can check the grounding is all connected with?

Those black bridges you may need to sand away some of the paint on the underside where the ground wire pokes out from the body underneath. The paint insulates it. (I also had to poke the meter probe in the head of the screw to make contact as the top part of the bridge is also insulated.)
