Trailer lights won't work

Hooked my '86 F350 up to a trailer that had a short in the running lights... now I have no power to the pig tail for the factory-wired tow harness (trailer tail lights). I am told it is likely a blown fusible link to that circuit.
Anyone know what color it would be and where I should look for that fusible link to the trailer tail lights? I intend to replace it with a relay and fuse so I can just replace the fuse if this happens again.

If it has dual batteries it might be on the firewall on the drivers side. My '83 has some fusible links in that area. (one that is blown) it is for my camper plug, aux. power.
