Your post is a bit hard to read and understand but what do you mean by "rewired old trailer" and "2005 F-250 factor installed brakes and bumper plug" ?
Did you wire up your own trailer harness?
Maybe your trailer wiring has a short somewhere?
I should hope your F250 came with brakes installed!

Yes it came with factory installed trailer brakes and electrical hookups.
Talked with the shop that did the trailer wireing he said the #29 fuse keeps blowing without the trailer plugged in. Need to know what fuse #29 is for
all it sez in the owners manual is #29 customer service.

Hmmm did you purchase this truck new from the dealership? Are there any aftermarket modifications that require electrical power? #29 may be something that powers the trailer brake or the upfitter switches.

Wait, is the fuse blowing when the trailer is plugged in, or when it is not plugged in? You have siad both now?
If it is blowing something any time you plug the trailer in, I am guessing the guy has a short somewhere in the trailer wiring, or has the plug wired up wrong.

Fuse 29 is a ignition powered lead that is white with a blue tracer on most trucks I've seen. It comes out near the trailer harness plug to the right of the driver. It is possible it got pinched somewhere. Not sure why it would be noticeable that the fuse got blown??? Must be wired into something else.

My '06 manual says fuse 29 is CUSTOMER ACCESS, not customer service. To me that means the customer can use that fuse for your own accessories. You need to figure out where that fuse lead is going.

or would that cause more problems? The mechanic said it popped the fuse BEFORE he plugged in the trailer.

When that fuse blows what does it affect? what doesn't work? If the truck came from the factory with the brake controller already installed then there would have been no reason for him to touch antying inside the truck. Just wire up the trailer and plug it in. Unless he added a extra power wire to go out to the trailer to charge the brake away batter on the trailer.
