My 98 does the same thing. I got the Hoppy's quick
connect kit (flat 4) and every time I hook up any
trailer to it, as soon as I shift into reverse, the
fuse blows. The last time it happened, I didn't have
he required 15 amp fuse and like you I didn't want to
put in a higher amperage fuse. I put in a 10 amp
instead until I get some more 15 amp one. The ten amp
works fine, it'll just blow quicker if any load hits
that circuit.
