I had one for 10 years and every year without fail I had to replace the plug and socket to get it working reliably. They will look fine but will corrode just enough to cause these issues, and the issues were always as described here. FWIW mine was regularly out in torrential rain so I don't believe the waterproofing issues. I'm sure there are other causes of this behaviour, but replace both the plug and the socket before investigating any further.
