I originally ventured into the fuse box to discover why my reverse lamps, homelink, and auto-dimming mirrors don't work.

I though I found the problem at fuse #31 when I discovered it was blown. I popped in a new 15amp fuse, turned the key, and the thing blew right away.

The manual says the only devices on that fuse the tail lights, Cruise control, & the automatic transmission (I'm MT), however, my tail lights do work and I know my homelink, reverse lamps, and the auto-dimming mirrors do not work.

This is a fairly recently problem. I know my reverse lights worked at least a month ago.

Anyone have any ideas for what I should check next? I need your help.

My money would be on there being something wrong with the reverse lamps.

Disconnect the tails and see if it holds then.

sounds like a bad ground issue if it is its going to be a pia to find.

Now what next? Hook up one tail at a time and see if it holds?

What should I look for?

Yeah... 1 at a time and check the socket, wiring etc...

I did another test with both tails still disconnected.

I put the key in the on position and put the trans in reverse. I heard a little pop and sure enough fuse #31 blew. It's definitely a revser issue.

Is the reverse switch located on the transmission?

I had a RNS-E installed serveral weeks ago and I know the reverse wire was tapped into by the club pedal. I wonder if that has something to do with this.
