2005 Jeep Liberty LTD/CRD

I am attempting to install a 7-way trailer light adapter on a nifty little CRD I just bought - now #2 in my stable. The harness on the 7-way plug has a short (12" or so) pigtail with connector that is supposed to "plug in" to the factory pre-wiring. Unfortunately (1) a previous owner has installed a Flat-4 connector, and it's pretty much a hatchet job, terminating on the left side - can't see the actual connection. (2) The plug-in on the body is not visible. There are some bundled wires that go into a sheet metal tube about 4" square, centered under the bumper. I can't pull these wires out, and - here's my dillema: It appears that to find out where these wires go (if they're even the right ones) and to get a look inside that tube - I have to completely remove the rear bumper.

OK, I'll do that if I have to, BUT does anyone know the trick way to get to this plug? I hate pulling something completely apart, only to find out that if I had known, I'd only have to take it 10% down to get to what I wanted.

Description, or link, or video will be MUCH appreciated.

Thanx,
tpfdchn

Wiring should be coming down out of the right side. Ones I've been involved with you remove the inside panel and connect the wires, running them down through a hole in the body to the receiver. Its hard to tell what the PO did or how he connected them
