Into reverse . ...Fuse Blows ....Please answer this one .
I have a 1990 xlt 302 and everytime I put it in reverse i blow a fuse that controls the turn signals and the brake lights and a few other things.
What could be doing this?
If anyone knows please let me in on it.
Thanks guys and gals. Mike

I'm assuming you have an auto tranny here...
My guess would be that you have some bare wires in your steering column, and shifting into reverse causes them to short. This is the only thing I could come up with.

More likely is that your trailer wiring is spliced together wrong, or shorted out from corrosion inside the connector. How long has it done this and what electrical mods/repairs/damage to you you have? Look in the vicinity of the LR taillight under the body - the wires may have been damaged by debris thrown by that tire.

I would tend to lean more towards Steve83's post but there is the very slim chance that you have a neutral safety switch with a problem. Switch controls ignition interlock and back-up lamp circuits. This lamp wiring can backfeed if shorted and damage adjacent circuits (i.e. turn signals, stop lamps etc.).
