That's just what puzzles me: never ever I saw anything looking like under my bonnet.
I'm not very good in electricity but I'm not blind at all.
Bumper taken off, I closely inspected all I could saw of that devilish wire on the front side (see picture posted earlier on): all was looking clean & neat and impossible for me to see anything further because immediately the bunch of wires is efficiently protected by that large corrugated sheath that hides the whole lot. Same tidiness inside behind the panel.

It looks to me a very vicious failure. They're the worst of all when you're trying to solve any problem.

But thanks for the tip if it happens to be workable.
Maybe more of use to the mechanic than to me...
