But that is just to tell the car if a trailer is fitted or not.

The Trailer module and/or REM uses a load detection to determine if a trailer is connected
LEDs provide less electrical load than incandescent bulbs.
The load detection doesn't work on LED lamps, and thus the car doesn't know if a trailer is connected.
This means the car cannot deactivate the rear fog lamp, cannot deactivate the reversing sensors, and cannot activate the trailer indicator on the dash.

I don't believe it has any relevance to not getting any power at all to the trailer connector.
