The brake pedal works like the light switch on your wall. When you flip it on, if there is a short, you complete the circuit and blow the fuse. Visually look for a shorted wire in the wiring to the tail lights. If nothing found you'll meet a multi meter to check. Begin at the tail lights and check backward. A wiring diagram for the vehicle would be of great assistance.

I've checked the 20 amp fuse its fine and replaced it anyway. When I plug my trailer in the lights work on the trailer but still no signal or brake on the rear of the truck.
