SOURCE: 1990 Lincoln Town Car Brake Lights Fuse Blows When Put In Drive

This could be caused by the transmission range selector switch on the tranny, no sure how without the wiring diagram, but seems to ring a bell from my 20 years at a ford delaer.

SOURCE: Reverse causes fuse for instrumental cluster to blow

Yes there is a reverse light back up switch located on the side of the transmission it will be the only 2 wires going to the tranny. There might be a short in the switch itself or the power wire to switch might have a bare spot where it might be grounding out on the vehicle somewhere.

SOURCE: i have a 2003 camry,4 cyl engine auto trans,143000

Usually burnt and discolored ATF mean pump or torque converter not doing there job or bands and clutches are worn. Shift solinoid or a pressure problem is the problem with 2nd and 3rd gear, Take it to a transmission shop and have them look it over but like I said earlierdiscolored ATF could mean a rebuild.

I was going down the interstate and lost 1,2,3,5, and reverse. It's a 4.3 v6 5 speed manual 95 gmc. Any clue what happened?

Your trans is toast. It could have been that you lost a fuse or anything simpler but you lost reverse as well which mean that your trans is gone due to mechanical issues not electronic.

Cluster fuse blows out

You need to take the car to an Auto Electrician. This is a clear case of a stripped positive + wire making contact with the body of the car thus shorting out the fuse. Do not attempt to put in a higher amp fuse to try and resolve the matter. The fact that the fuse blows if a safety measure that prevents the car's wiring system from completely burning out. Save yourself this headache and take the car for an electrical system test. Explain to the Auto Electrician that this happens when you put the car in reverse - and he my have to completely rewire the reverse light and reverse switch in the gearbox.

Where is the fuse for the tranny it takes off in 3 gear it is a 4 speed auto i blow a fuse or some thing thank you bob

The trans has a built in limp mode if it detects a problem. More than likely there is something else wrong,

Try to reset it first. Turn the vehicle on and off 3 full times and then start it and see if it starts out in first. If you then fell it lurch and go back into limp mode have it scanned to see. It could be the trans computer, a sensor or a hard problem internal to the trans. Hope this helps.

REVERSE LIGHT DO NOT WORK

Quite frankly I'm a GM guy, but after reading your question, to me a 3-4-or 5 spd , Below that shifter is a switch to indicate when the shifter is put into the reverse gate. Test its continuity and replace. Later model std's have switches on the trans. Hope this helps

Automatic Transmission problem

You didnt specify which transmission your car has,the 3 speed,model A131L,or the 4 speed A245E.Both transmissions basically have the same elements applied internally when acquiring Reverse gear.Forward clutch off,Direct clutch and Low Reverse clutch applied.The major difference between the two available transmissions for your car is,the 3 speed trans is totally hydraulic,no electronic controls,while the 4 speed trans is totally electronic control.Check the fluid level first,regardless of trans model.If your car has the 3 speed trans,it is likely an internal trans problem.Same thing for the 4 speed model,with the exception that the problem could be the electronic solenoids malfunctioning.The solenoids should be deemed defective or good,before a determination is made.
