Default Reverse light short circuit

01 Ram 2500 - Reverse lights don't work. Pulled the fuse and saw it was shot. I put a new one in and tested it, immediately popped and blew. Put the parking brake on, put truck in reverse, put a new fuse in and popped immediately. Haven't had the truck for very long, so I don't know when the problem started.

I'm guessing there is a short circuit somewhere? Any tips or leads?

Thanks

If you have a trailer harness, look where it hits the main rear harness, they are notorious for bad connections.
