Default adding trailer

My question is. I wired in a trailer plug to the bike 2001 nomad fi. It works great . But when I hook it to the trailer after about a minute I blow the running lights 10 amp fuse. I rewired the whole trailer before I ever used it. I know it is possible I may have a ground somewhere, but has anyone ever had to upgrade there bike power output or upgrade to a 15 amp fuse due to the higher draw added with the trailer. My dealer is saying it's too much for my bike. The trailer only adds 2 left turn 2 right turn 2 running and 2 brake. The basic for a trailer. I am afraid to add a higher fuse if there is something else I need to be doing to my bike to handle the added draw. And yes the bike plug is grounded to the battery and the trailer plug is grounded to the trailer so I believe I am okay there. Thanks in advance for any advice..
