Can't be if the fronts work; there's only one switch for the four lights. Put lights on. Do you have about 12 volts between the grey/black and grey/red wires at the fuse board and ground? If yes, your fuse, switch and battery are OK. Next: Do you have about 12 volts between the bulb contact pin that connects to the grey/stripe wire and ground? If so and the lights still don't work, the bulbs are dead (rear light filament only), wrongly fitted, holders corroded, poor earthing connection (supply one if necessary). If you don't have 12 volts at the contact pin, the wire may need replacing if you still can't find the damage to it. This would normally be a 1/2 hour job max - something seems to be making it much harder than it should. Dave.

I'm now wondering if it's the switch. Is there a way to check the switch using the VOM? Or should I just invest in a new switch and hope for the best?
