It is a very common problem on these trucks, check the trailer wiring at the rear of the truck, they short out the running light fuse all the time.

Remove the headlight switch again and check the wiring loom make sure the wires are not melted, most of the time it's the two orange ones that melt together and cause a malfunction causing the fues to blow after a little while. If the loom is okay, you will have to inspect every interior light and parking right and find out which a bulb is giving you the problem.
