I have not actually tried this, but here's something I saved from the list
a while back.
It had to do with the heavy duty hazard / turn-signal flashers
under the dash (big silver things in fuse panel). Basically they were the
standard issue units, and caused all sorts of electrical problems with
people towing trailers. They may short out, and then blow fuses left,
right and center. Try replacing the stock ones with heavy duty ones (any
autoparts store) and this may help.
Don't know if this is the same thing you already tried or not.
