    Running lights fuse keeps blowing, the truck only pulls one trailer I’ve gone over all the wires on the truck and trailer I replaced the pigtail still keeps blowing after driving about half hour I was sure it was a worn thru wire but I can’t seem to find it. Any ideas ?

    I think @AModelCat is right. If the truck has been in use for years, been modified with extra lights or any modification near wiring I'd say a nicked wire or damaged connecter could cause the fuse to keep failing. Did someone add more lights than came from factory or switch some or all lights to LEDs.

    Over the weekend/evening, disconnect truck and trailer, turn on running lights, see if its time only with just tractor first eliminate variables.
