Check the plug connection to the light cluster for a bad / dirty connection, clean the connections up and give them a smear of grease when reconnecting.

Yes electrical cleaner will be fine on the connectors.

If you haven't done so I would check the connectors on both back lights.

I would also remove every bulb in each cluster and make sure the earth point for each is nice and clean.

If after checking all of that the fault is still there I would figure out which wire was the earth and connect a temporary wire from there to the clean metal on the body of the car to see if that cured the fault.



Cheers.
