That is bloody insane!
Sometimes the trailer wiring shorts out, either under the carpet in the boot or on the outside where the plug is. Doubt this will be the case for you, because the courtesy light circuit doesn't hook onto the trailer plug (AFAIK) but it's worth a look-see |

I'd say you will need an auto sparky to sort this one out - in the meantime, just pull out the courtesy light fuse. And try locking it manually with the key.

Check for water/moisture in the connectors behind the r/h kick panel.
