Default 04/3.7 keeps blowing trans fuse while towing

Hey guys,

I have a 04 w/ the 3.7 in it and when i pull a trailer it blows the 20a fuse under the hood and goes into limp mode. I did the install on the flat 4 wiring harness and am wondering if I hooked something up wrong would that blow the fuse. The truck only does it with a trailer on. Any ideas?

Thanks

I can't see a bad electrical job popping a transmission fuse unless something is mis-labeled or shorted...

got it figured out. When i wired my trailer lights I tied into the reverse light ground and every time I put it in revese with a trailer hooked up I blew the fuse.
