Help no dash lights!!!!!!

Hi all I hooked on my fifth wheel tonight and was trying the lights well I had no dash lights so I checked the fuse it was blown so I put in a new fuse and I saw the dash lights come on for an instant and go back off check the fuse and it is good but still no lights. Anyone had any problems with this before??

Something is shorting out. Does it blow when you don't have the trailer hooked up?

Pull the front dash fascia off (just pops off with a little effort). You'll see the switch and how to remove it. Those switches are notorious for dying.
