trailer running lights stopped working

luckily about 5 minutes from home my trailer running lights AND the lights on my dump truck body stopped working. i assume they hooked the lights to my dump body to the trailer lights. i was towing an old trailer that has electrical issues so i'm sure that caused it. under the hood there is a 30 amp fuse #26 that i think is the culprit. (all the other similar fuses are shiny and that one is kinda black)

i've never bought fuses like this before, what type is it? it's a big square one. are they available at auto zone? does the whole thing pull out and do you need a special tool for it?

thanks a lot.

I think it is #29 under the hood. Small 30 amp cartridge fuse. Autozone has them in the electrical aisle. Needle nose pliers are the only special tool you need

Also, get the electrics checked in the trailer if that caused it
