You possibly have a short somewhere. Check the tail lamp wires.

Yank of the driver side cargo panel. See if it has the towing hook ups. If it does get rid of it or start probing the wires before and after. Look for a 12v signal on either side. If you're not getting it in either place start working your way up to the fuse box.

Probably starting to sound like a broken record to anyone reading my posts but the driver side tail light there is a tiny ground wire. Make sure its in tact and clean.

Broken records are good when they provide good info such as you have.
