So I went to turn my overdrive off the other day and found it didnt work. So i check all my fuses and find the blown one, so i replaced it. But that didnt fix it. I eventually figured out why, the fuse that control it also controls my back up lights, and for some reason now every time i put it in reverse the fuse blows. So i finally figure this out and figure theres not really much i can do, so i shut my car off and the lights wont go off. So i figure some relay is fried and now have to unhook the battery when i turn the car off. Hurrrrray :cry:

why not just locate and pull the relay itself? Much less trouble. It should be somewhere under the hood.

That wouldn't cause his lights to stay on as a fuse is merely a circuit breaker set inline in the circuit.

The most probable cause is the relay being fused closed, a short circuit (which would cause the new fuse to blow immediately) or a bad ground point.

The fuse was right, and i all sorts of searched for the relay but couldnt find the damn thing. Cars were so much better before computers. :(
