Indeed from what i can make out, have the codes checked. With the rear lights, take the bulbs out and check them. If they are ok you may also want to check to see if there is an earthing problem?... Please also confirm you questions more clearly.

Have you recently fitted light bulbs? Check that there hasn't been a twin filament bulb put in wrong or back to front (don't recall them on the transit but check that) also if there is a tow bar socket check it hasn't got water in and corroded. Also the light connectors go rusty and crap out, also on my mk6 right side loom I have to twist the whole lot around 180 degrees for them to work, probably a broken wire.
