reverse lights
my truck keeps poping the 10amp fuse for reverse. it doesnt pop it right away though, takes about a week. any ideas of where to look?

Start at the bulbs, then work your way to the fuse box.

Between the fuse and reverse lights is a switch in your transmission. When the shift linkage goes into R, it allows power to run back to the light bulbs. Somewhere along the way you have a short.

i just looked with the flash light, theres 3 plugs from what i could see the one furthest to the back with 2 wires seems like it would be the reverse one. im going to follow it up tommorrow.

ok mint. if everything checks out good, then where should i look? also seeing where the switch is just completing a circuit, i dont see how it could go bad. if it had multiple wires then i would say it could be sending a bad signal. if that makes sense.
