Sounds like you have a hot to ground short somewhere on the trailer trace wires on trailer for bare wire.Look closely around the lights that are on the trailer for any frayed wires and any wires that are touching metal.

I have a 2005 Pacifica. My dashboard lights went out and then I noticed my tail lights werent lit either. I changed the 20 amp fuse for my dashboard and it blew 2x. What could be wrong with my baby?

Quite often it is in your trailer plug, but you have a damaged wire somewhere, First check your trailer plug, replace fuse if it blows now then unplug the plug under the dash on the drivers side pillar that runs under the carpet, replace fuse if it blows now you will need a professional, if it works you know where to chase it

Lights when pulling a trailer

There are separate fuses in the fuse box for the trailer lights than for the vehicle lights. Ensure these fuses are good. The trailer lights work without any special settings on the vehicle light switch.
If you're getting no lights whatsoever (no brake, turn, or running) then you likely have a grounding issue. This is usually the white wire on the trailer lights.

Do you have a 7-wire, 6-wire, 5-wire, or 4-wire trailer light connector on the rear of your vehicle?

Went in the ditch and now the tail lights and dash lights don't work. Changed out fuse and now brake lights work but others still don't Any advice?

you are going to have to get under it and start looking for ripped wires or damaged wires. also check around your trailer hook ups. dont know what type of ditch you hit or how you went in or how it was pulled out. if you went through some sapling trees or brush you could have torn up wires. if you blew a fuse then you had to short out wires. if tail went in first then trailer connector is a good place to start.
