85 carrera blowing fuse...where's the backup light switch

hey guys...is it true the backup light switch is near the fuel sending unit and "fanfare" for my 85 carrera? on the SC's i guess its on the transmission.

reason i'm asking is because the fuse keeps blowing. i could care less about not having backup lights, but the darn turn signals don't work when the fuse is blown. (it blows when i put the car in reverse)

thanks!
david

anyone know what the ohm reading _should_ be once i get that bad boy off?

it's on the nose of the transmission. testing should show open and closed.

ya gotta go under. one of the wires really would have to be contacting ground to blow a fuse. they usually just touch each other if they pull out of the switch inside their boot. no boot and hanging wires, then could be an issue. i wouldn't think that the switch itself would ever short to ground.
