whenever I check it out I'll look under the car and see if I can see any spliced wires or evidence of a hitch being attached.


There is a loom extension that runs across the car in a narrow trough at the rear of the trunk floor just below where the hole is located. Some of the signals could be picked up there but they could have had a short cable from the plug share that channel and run to the left tail light area where everything could be picked up.

As an added note something falling or wedged into that trough and laying there mostly out of sight while rubbing or cutting into the loom or a failed rubber grommet protecting the wire exiting a hole and going to the license lights has been found to be the cause more than once of shorts in the wiring.
