Major light/fuse problem

[CTDMtnGoat]

Over the weekend i moved a trailer (half mile, non-highway) ,everything worked fine; lights,brakes,etc. After parking i notice my "lamp out" indicator is on, as well as the "ABS" indicator, and the parking brake indication light were all on. Heres what is going on : the right side park lights dont work at all, the reverse lights dont work at all ,the third break light/marker light doesn't work at all , the left brake light is the only one functioning. The right front and rear turn signals work , but the left front turn signal goes double time , while the rear doesnt work at all. I found 5 fuses blown (1,24,32,38,46). i replaced them , but keep blowing 24,38,46 . I've checked all the bulbs,connections i can , peeled the wire loom back to look for burnt wires and everything looks good, something must be shorted or burnt somewhere in the truck, ..... oh yeah, the speedometer is acting erratic!!... ... ... im getting really worried something major has happened. If i cant figure it out soon its going to have to go to the dealer and I'm worried its going to be expensive! Has anyone ever had anthing like this happen? Any recomendations? thanks guys

Sounds like a direct short to me, Any luck finding it. have you looked at the back side of the fuse panel?

You're going to need a wiring diagram, and trace all those circuits.

38 is the ignition switch RUN position.
46 and 24 are both +12 supplies to other circuits.

46 supplies the trailer towing left turn relay.
24 supplies the brake lamp switch.

You might have fried the front control module. Regarding your trailer - is it properly wired using relays, or is the truck harness providing full current to it?
