Have a pretty serious issue here and wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.

2013 6.2 Raptor
Started truck this morning and had a trailer brake control error message., but truck ran great.
I started looking under the truck for a loose wire or something to cause the issue and found nothing. So i opened the passenger side kick panel to check the fuse. The fuse looked like it wasnt seated in the all the way. so turned the truck off and pushed it in more.
Went to start the truck again and it is dead. Cluster/radio come on but nothing at all when the key is turned to start the truck. No clicking, no sounds at all. So I pulled the trailer brake fuse out (fuse #37) and it was burnt out now. Replaced it with a new one and still the same issue with no starting or no noise. I checked the other fuses with a test light and there is no power going to fuse # 31,33,34,35,36,37,41 and 42 in the passenger side fuse box (fuses are good, but not picking up any power in those slots. Also not power to fuse #52,53,57,56 in the fuse box under the hood.

Can anyone give me some opinions on where else to check or something I am missing.

Thanks

There’s another break in the circuit somewhere. like an in-line dude located under the hood or something that feeds multiple fuses.

Inspect all the wiring around the battery terminal and follow the wiring off the battery as far as you can. Inspect everything.

I would also check all wiring near the trailer wiring in the back.

there’s a short somewhere that is causing the fuse to blow. Which means a hot wire ya touching metal somewhere. Like it got crushed somewhere.

sometimes trailers have old wiring that could cause a short when you plug it in. Look really close and check everything you can see.
