Tailgate Problems of Ford Transit Connect

Has been blowing the backup camera 5 amp fuse, intermittently for the past few months. Last few days the hill assist light and the abs light come on also the power steering goes away not a good thing, when I shut the ignition off then back on again most of the time the lights go off and the steering is back, I bought this vehicle new , it was never in an accident . The only repair was done by the local dealer they replaced the fuel pump and sending unit that was a recall. . Also the sliding door locks that were a recall . I found wires going to the lift gate have had the insulation skinned off because they rub on the inner body panel hole. . As you can see in the pictures I used liquid electrical tape on the wires and put plastic split wire loom tubing over the wires. Also took white rubber tube and split it and put it on the inner panel opening that caused the wire insulation to get rubbed off. This Ford Transit Connect van has 32,000 miles. . . . I thought fixing these wires would cure the problem , after going for a couple rides and lifting the tailgate it still blows the fuse. And the other lights still come on. Obviously the skinned wires I repaired were a problem , there apparently is another issue or two.
