Fuse # 5 and other electrical demons 200 1991

91 240.

About 3 months ago my reverse lights stoped working. Not needing an inspection until January, I put off fixing it, as I do not look forward to droping the tranny to access the switch.

This weekend the blinkers stopped working. The Hazard lights still work, the blinkers just do not. I swapped in an extra lever and had no luck.

I finally checked the fuse box and found Fuse 5 blown. Bentley says fuse 5 in a 1990+ 240 controls the reverse lights and the blinker. So i put a new one in. The blinkers worked again, but only in position 1 and 2. As soon as you go to start the car the fuse blows. I am not much for wiring diagrams, especially the ones in Bentley. Any suggestions?

Also, my bulb failure light comes on every time i hit the brakes, but I swapped all my bulbs 2 weeks ago and the lights all work.
