Need help to trouble shooting the cause of Charge Line blown fuse

On my Class A Thor 34J (Ford F53 chassis), if I pushed the brake pedal*a few times , the Charge Line fuse blew up, this is repeatable. When that happened, I lost power on Hot and trailer break on 7 way trailer plug.

I looked under the RV, the wire for the 7 way trailer plug, everything looked normal and I did not see anything obvious such as damaged wire etc. How do I find out the location of the trouble line?

I do have a multi-meter.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried unplugging the trailer connection and try the brake again. If ok then the problem is in the trailer. First place I would look is where the wires connect to the trailer plug in. Sometimes a strand of wire will touch where it should not. If nothing there since it happens when the brake is applied. I would look for a shorted wheel brake activator.
