doubt it'll be the fuses tbh if they only come on when they feel like it. but you may be lucky. Check the thing under brake pedal to see if thats ok.

Will more than likely be a faulty connection on the plug for the rear lights. The reverse light will probably be a faulty reverse light switch on the gearbox.

If you have a multi meter then you can test the wiring for the lights

But defo clean the contacts up
