check the trailer plug and rear loom.

Or maybe in behind the washer and other stuff on the left hand front guard under the bonnet. There does seem to be a wear point in there somewhere with similar symptoms.

Just last week I noticed some wear on the part of the loom that runs over the top of the heater box to the front left guard (so heater/fan, horn, left front indicators/parkers/headlight), from the bolts that hold the top of the heater box to the firewall.

It's a long shot, but easily inspected.
