problem with trailer light plug

On my 96 F250, My towing harness has a 12 volt power supply when the ignition is on. When i was sevicing my travel trailer, i shorted something out. Now i cant get the power through the plug. I checked the fuses and fuseble links coming from the cylinoid. Any idea where the problem might be?

need more details, what is the something you shorted? Should be a fuse.
