I have a 87 300SDL, I'm wondering what might cause the number 5 fuse
to blow when I put the car in reverse, it only blows then,
I can start the car in neutral and select drive and its ok.
Shorted backup light bulb.
Bad neutral safety switch (on tranny).
I also have another problem that my blinkers and flasher do not
function
this is control by the #2 8 amp fuse which is good because my clock
functions.
Cycle the hazard switch a whole bunch of times. They get dirty,
this takes out one or both functions. Disassembly and cleaning
is common here. If bad enough, replacement is required.
