Good point.
I've only lost high beams from that multi-point ground spot ..
or maybe had dim high beams.
I always convert any push-on connected wire that weakens  at the push-on thing,  to screw and eye type ground, with  a star pointy washer between the eye terminal on the wire, and the body of the van ..
the points dig in really well...rock solid grnd that way for a long time.

  I experienced this on my previously owned '87 GL, and it turned out to be the ground bundle screwed to the body above the fuse panel.  I periodically had to tighten the center screw.  Always wanted to pull the dash to clean up that area, but never got around to it.
