Does it have tow bar electrics, they are prone to cause weird shorts?

Thanks lambert, yes it does have a tow bar, guessing it has the electrics too.

As it has a tow bar, It will more than likely be one or both of the rear lights earth. Only way to find it is to remove the lights and look for a corroded or loose connection.
