It sounds like a bad ground, a quick look at the diagram shows they both go through the same earth point on the rear passenger arch

Any problems with the boot/tailgate lock ? Are the brake lights working ok ? Make sure the bulbs and sockets are clean, for the cost change the bulbs out (good quality ones)

It's a ground issue, it will find the path of least resistance, its just a case of finding the culprit
