Keep blowing trailer running lights fuse. Why?

Keep blowing trailer running lights fuse. Why?
I just bought a new 6x12 enclosed trailer with LED tail lights and I can't keep the Blazer from blowing the 10amp fuse under the hood for the trailer parking/running lights. More specifically, the fuse will blow after having both the brakes pressed and a turn signal on. I drove over 200 miles with just the parking lights on without blowing the fuse but when I stopped and turned on the signal, it pops.
Any ideas? Bad ground connection? Short?
Where is a good place to start?
PS- Here is a pic of the trailer.

A short can cause a fuse to pop you might have a short in the trailer plug its self id start checking the wires
know any 1 with a trailer ? try the lights on there trailer see if the fuse blows
fuse might be weak too but id check for shorts 1st
