Reverse Lights not Working

Ok, so I was hooking up my backup camera and I accidentally shorted the camera, which then shorted out my reverse lights (since it takes power from them). I can not find the fuse. Where is the fuse for the reverse lights located? Or could I also have damaged something else by shorting it out?

Do you think I also could have damaged my Pioneer D3 head unit also since it picks up the reverses signal?


Please help.

This is for 2005 Expedition XLT

Here's your owners manual for your vehicle, it'll show you the fuse locations. http://www.motorcraftservice.com/?link=002&urlfile=/pubs/content/~WO5EXD/~MUS~LEN/41/05exdog3e.pdf
It's hard to say if you damaged your D3, all you can do is turn it on and see if it still works. This is why they tell you in the installation instructions to disconnect your neg. battery cable prior to installation, to avoid things like this.
