    Something makes me suspect not...

    All your headlight parking and marker lights work?

    That should eliminate the 7.5A TAIL fuse and TAIL relay.
    I'd look at connector EB1.

    That has me scratching my head, since that same fuse does the parking and marker lights in your headlights; yet, they still work.

    I have not done any modifications to the truck since I noticed this so I’m not exactly sure what’s going on seems like there’s a short somewhere
