Is the battery charged? What is the voltage at the battery?
Has the battery been removed? The melted fuse/fuseholder was likely caused by a direct short, it could have been in the trailer connection cord or elsewhere. There is often a wire in the trailer connection to the tow vehicle to allow for the tow vehicle to charge the trailer battery while in transit. If the wires were crossed when fixing it, that could be the source of your short.
Also if the brakes failed and caused a short, the truck would indicate a trailer brake issue and it could have shorted your fuse.
