Take the light apart so you can get to the connectors (pins) and clean them up...plus check the earth wire

Mines did this, when I pressed the brake all my indicators lit up, cleaned rear light connectors problem sorted.

It's a pain in the neck, chances are it will happen again so keep on top of those connectors.

And the update is that after no time at all, and doing very little, it's all fixed

A squirt of WD40 on the connectors and that was all I did. There was no corrosion or dirt built up, did both light clusters and the number plate light whilst I was at it and now all seems dandy
