I bought a boat/trailer last year. The first time I put the boat in the

had to have him replace it. The hitch installer said everything was done
properly. I figured something shorted when it got wet, so the second time
I
disconnected the electrical before putting it in the water. It was okay.

Yesterday it blew the fuse before getting to the water. Argh. (92 and the
A/C went out, as did the speedometer...)

I presume something is shorted on the trailer. Any suggestions for
troubleshooting it?

It's wired incorrectly - they've picked up power from something they
shouldn't have.

What is the fuse labeled as?

Console. It controls the speedometer, heater fan, and one window; at least
that is what stops working with the fuse blown. Hard to imagine why there
would be any wiring for those things back by the tail light.
