Affecting all the lights? ie rear, brake, indicator, and reverse all remain off until banged? If so then likely the ground connection.

If only the rear light then could be the bulb, connection between bulb and bulb holder, power, plug to light, wire to plug...

Simplest first try would be to replace the bulb and see if behaviour improves...
If not start by verifying power at the appropriate pin in the plug while wiggling the wire. Then at the center pin in the bulb holder while wiggling the plug. Look at contacts, bulb holder etc for any corrosion.

When you insert the bulb in the holder, make sure the center contact is springy and puts pressure on the bulb contact as the bulb moves slightly up into the locked-in position
