Makes no sense to me why they use auto resetting circuit breakers on circuits that are continuously energized. Auto reset breaker for the hydraulic pump ok since it is only energized intermittently when running the pump. For the breaker for the rest of the trailer there are circuits that can be on continuously. And if there is a short, or something drawing too much current, that breaker will keep trying to energize that bad circuit until something gives. Maybe burning wires.

I would not replace that breaker with a higher amp breaker. Too much risk of burning something up. Again, ok for pump, but not the other(s).

I have no idea where those miscellaneous wires go. But if you can’t isolate the problem, have someone experienced in that wiring repair it for you.
