Thanks for all of the responses.
I guess my best bet is to remove the wiring from the tail light voids so their simple minds aren't baffled and it's not "Modified" any longer.
After that I will snap a photo of the tail light not working and the "aux switches unavailable battery charging" warning every single day and email it to the service writer to prove that it is happening otherwise they will tell me once again "could not recreate issue"
It's a VERY simple solution to make sure no power back feeds into the Jeep controllers.
With no power from the towing vehicle, there is NO load on anything in the Jeep ever, Nothing needs to be programmed - These are more of the excuses I'm getting from the dealer.
@ECP, The "Towed Vehicle" wiring harness travels from the front bumper to the rear bumper and is run inside along the door thresholds, under the kick panels and under the rear trim panels and they have to remove the rear bumper to tie into the license plate light. That's why they had to remove every trim panel on one side.
@mwilk012, I worked on it for 3 hours trying to get a tail light WITH the "towed vehicle" harness disconnected so I assumed it was a controller issue.
This was only one of the 3 issues I took it in for, the others being battery charging and NO engine stop start.
TRUST me, I absolutely dread taking anything in for service but, I'm not about to purchase a replacement aux battery to fix it myself.
I will report back after I play their little game and make them fix it after all.
