Check to see if the fuses are seated in the fuse panel.

I'd start with looking at the rear connector (up near spare tire, behind bumper) as well as the external 7 pin for corrosion or build up. Take it apart, clean it all up nice and put some dielectric grease on it, every connection. Very doubtful it's a fuse. It is sensing feedback from somewhere making the truck think there is a trailer connected.
