You can rule out internal transmission wires. The only thing I know of would be the reverse light wiring. You have one power wire to the neutral switch. So when the lights are supposed to come on the fuse blows the turn signal . You said you check the wiring, Did you check for continuity? High resistance cause a higher amperage draw. Also did you check the hot wire for short to ground? Try leaving the engine off. No lights on. Put it in reverse, see what lights come on. Have someone stand in back and watch as you put it in reverse. The lights should flash for a split second before the fuse blows. If any other lights come on, you have lost ground to the reverse lights.

SOURCE: Chevy silverado keeps blowing fuses

sounds like a mouse has got in and chewed the cables,their is no easy fix from what i can think of but check all the wires and connections in case water has got into it,or snow if your in alaska.its fifteen years old now so its possible that some insulation has broken down or a wiring loom has chaffed somewhere underneath

SOURCE: taillight fuse keeps blowing

Hello, First off you have a direct short...this is where there is high resistance in the circuit such as corrusion from a water leak, rain or bad seals or a short to ground. Often there is a problem with bulbs that appear to be the same catalog number that match, yet they may have different filiments or bases. THE OLDER VOLVOS WERE VERY TOUCHY WHEN IT COMES TO CERTAIN BULBS AND THEIR METAL BASES.
Did you recently replace the bulb in the 3rd Brake light assembly in the back window? I just checked all Toyota service bulletins on ALLDATA and MITCHELL for this model year and found nothing.
Let me know what your next plan of action is........thank you

Fuse blows when put in reverse

Possibly an internal failure of the reverse switch. The blown fuse is for both the reverse and the turn signal lights. The fix is replacement of the reverse switch.

I have 1988 Chevy s10 4x4 I keep blowing fuses for my turn right side turn signals and brake lights I unhooked all the wires coming from main harness in back and same problem thinking maybe turn sig

May want to also check your wiring from the fuse panel to the different components that are giving you the problem. I think that you may have a pinched wiring along the way to all the components.

Reverse light not working what to do

If bulbs are good then you need to check the switch that powers them when you put the car into reverse.

FYI - Neutral safety switch prevents car from starting unless it is in neutral transmission position only.

I have a 95 jeep loredo . reverse light is not working , I checked the bulbs and fuses and they all good, I also change the neutral switch, still han no reverse light, any suggestion?

The neutral switch is so that you can't start your vehicle in a gear (drive, reverse, ect.) your looking to replace the backup lamp switch. Not sure where its located on your jeep but that sounds like the problem. Happy hunting!

Chevy silverado keeps blowing fuses

Your 20 amp fuse will not blow if glowplug wire shorts. each plug draws 15 amps which is 120 amps total.I think there are in line fuses for them. Try to wring out where each output from the fuse goes, disconnect all and reconnect one at a time till it blows.That should point to your problem process of illumination! Good Luck!!
