    Check the wiring from the trailer plug back to the fuse panel. Probably rubbed through on the frame or something like that.

    Take your small screw/driver and with pig tail unpluged at both ends unscrew the screw holding the cover at end of plug, pull cover back to look at wires that should be held down with larger screws, you may find a wire or 2 lose and shorting out your truck fuse?

    Pig tail, or the wiring inside the truck.
