Look in your manual and find what # fuse it is and what it goes to. Is the truck running? If it is running I would bet it's the wires in the column.

Under the upper steering column cover is a wire that goes to the end of the shifter arm. It has an intermittent short to ground. It is touching the metal casting somewhere and has worn through the insulation.

This is quite common.

Electrical tape, judiciously placed, will fix it.

There are other threads in here that have illustrations and photos.

Yup, Column wires, they get frayed and cause a short. Gonna have to get into the column/shifter and find/clean up those suckers!

Is it a 15 amp fuse that you are blowing? Owners manual says #27 is the Ignition switch Run Feed.

Maybe go further down the steering column where the shifting mechanism is and see if there is any chaffed wires in that area.
