The interior dome light in a trailer will either be powered directly from the trailer battery which means there would be no fuse on the tow vehicle for this or it will be hooked up to the 12 volt battery charge power circuit. If you have the former then you will need to trace the power wire from the light to the battery as this will then lead you to an in-line fuse or broken wire. If you have the latter then the fuse you will need to check on a 2014 Ford F-150 is in the engine bay fuse box, slot 21 which is a 30 amp fuse.
