Rear Lights flash on over bumps?

Anybody heard of a fault where all the rear lights come on when going over a speed bump or pothole?

I have been asked...... Question Question Question

Is it rear tail lights or brake lights?

Dodgy brake light switch could cause it if it was brake lights

Bit weird with them coming on when they're off, rather than off when they're on, which could point to a bad connection somewhere in the circuit, if including a bad earth.

My guess would be dodgy light switch? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

He says:

" All lights at rear go on when I go over a bump"

Question

Is is ALL the rear lights? Brakes, normal, fog, indicators and reverse? Or just one or more of these?

As an engineer, I've heard so many descriptions of ALL, and it's rarely ALL!

If it could be narrowed down to a apecific set of bulbs we could be more able to make an informed "guess" Thumbs Up Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
