I would ckeck your bulb's. I have had bad bulb's that shorted out and poped the fuse. I believe that your running light's (hopefully meaning the same as your taillights)and your dash light's are on the same fuse.

Both the dash and taillights are on the same fuse. Check that first.

Another vote for a short somewhere. Try putting electrical contact grease in all your bulb sockets. Also, is there any "custom" wiring on your rig in that circuit...ie Air Lift compressor, extra back up light????

no custom circuts but my trailer wires hang down and flop all over the place but i already tapped them off with electrical tape. Ill try the new bulb thing i guess. Its suppose to be a 15 amp fuse, and i ran a 25 amp one for a while and it work but then blew out. I know thats bad but i needed to to get the ticket signed off. Thanks any more ideas?
