Trailer Lights Out -- Fuse help requested

[Buckbull]

I had a wire on my trailer rub to the point it exposed the copper wire. My testing says I'm not getting power to my 4/7 pin receiver. I most likely blew a fuse or 2 i'm thinking. The fuses are not the easiest to get too so I wanted to get the fuses on hand before I start disassembling to get to the lower fuse box. These are for slots 56 and 63 and are the 15amp cartridge types.

Does anyone know if these are the standard or low profile type?

Both fuses are listed in the owner's manual as an M-type fuse.

Depending on which connector (4 pin or 7 pin) had the short to ground, there are 3 other fuses that may need to be checked (F73, F87, or F71). They are in the BJB also. F73 is M-type, F87 and F71 are LPJ-type fuses.

This info is found in the owner's manual in the Fuse Specification Chart section.

In the owner's manual, under "Changing A Fuse" heading, shows drawings of the various types of fuses.

M-type is a M Case fuse
LPJ-type is a J Case Low Profile fuse

I had the same problem and shorted out my boat trailer running/ parking lights. It turned out to be fuse #71, located in the engine bay fusebox. You will need to unlatch/ detach the top half of the fusebox to access the bottom half of the box where the fuse is located. 30 amp pink fuse, local auto parts store had it and fixed the problem.​

My local O'Reilly's didn't have what I needed so had to buy from Amazon. I bought variety packs of both M-type and LPJ. Had to replace both F87 and F71. Again, thanks to those that responded.
