E brake switch and electrical system short?

Bracha

This past weekend I was boondocking for three days.. the fuse on the group 24 battery (I have a 24 and 31), blew on day 3.  Since then, when I turn bat cut off switch on, the fuse blows.  I also cannot have shore power unless the converter fuse is out and it is not blown.  Could these problems relate to the e brake switch?.  I was checking the brakes and I am having a hard time pulling the pin out and the switch looks damaged a little melted...

Possibly. If the fuse at the battery blows the short is very likely before the power center because everything downstream of the PC has its own fuses. So that leaves the wiring from the 7 pin to the distribution box under the front, the emergency brake switch and wiring to it, or the wiring to the power center.

Should be easy to figure out with a multimeter.

Can a faulty break away switch cause these problems?

I give up.  My camper is useless.  I cannot find a qualified person to do repairs

For $11 you can take a chance on a new switch to get your trailer back.
