It's possible that it's the diversity antenna, but I'd be willing to bet money that it's not and it's wiring.

You've sort of lost me with the bit about "the main plug". I'm not sure what that is. I mean, I WISH our cars had the tailgate wiring all going to a common plug. It would be a whole lot easier to change out the whole tailgate if that were the case. As it is though, you really have to check each wire. Over the years, I've found that they break inside of the insulation and therefore don't appear broken until they finally snap in half...or you give them a good tug like StradaRedlands suggests.

How's your radio reception? Whenever I've had a wire break that took out the remotes (that's happened maybe 3 times since I've owned my car), I've also lost radio reception.
