Start by looking at what is on the 26 fuse. If the rear def is on it, unplug the clips on it to see if it makes a difference. It may be shorting out there. You can also unplug the reverse switch from the trans to try and narrow it down. Does the fuse blow as soon as you put it in, or when you turn the ignition on, or when you activate an accessory? Do not put a higher fuse in it as you may cause an electrical fire.

Unplug the wiring connector from the transmission selector/neutral safety switch on the side of the transmission and try it again.
