Gearbox Fuse Keeps Blowing?

Postby Aido C » Tue Jun 23, 2009 4:15 pm

When I put my car into reverse, the fuse for the auto gearbox keeps blowing. So I only have reverse gear then. If I restart the then it will then drive in default gear (3rd).
Any ideas to what could be causing this?

I figured out what it was. The reverse lights were short circuiting. Just had to cut out a small section of the wire which was damaged and connect it back together and put in another fuse in. All as good as new now :)
