Reverse and brake lights

Ok so a couple days ago my brake light went out changed bulbs tested the sockets no power to them then I noticed that my #13 fuse keeps blowing so I took out the bulbs and put a new fuse in it and it still blew and my reverse light also are not working idk what could be causing I checked for corrosion on the wires they look good I have a small trailer hook up and the wires seems fine as well

If its popping fuses you have a short. Get a cheap multimeter and chase it down.

Use the multimeter to see where you have power and where you don't in those wires.
