I didn't finish my thoughts on that last post before I was called away. In the console on the shift lever is a switch which closes when you put the transmission into reverse. This switch turns on the backup lamp. If the switch is loose or the wiring around it has become worn or damaged from repeated movement, it could cause the short which is blowing the fuse. This is another case when having a wiring diagram for the vehicle could simplify the process of solving the problem. Sure wish I could find a diagram, because I'm having an electrical problem with my left window. I've tracked it down to the "rag top" controller, but I had to disassemble so much of the vehicle to trace wires out. Keep us updated. Tod
