Reverse/AC Fuse Keeps Blowing / 1985 240 Wagon 200

Hi, All-

I have a persistent problem that I hope has a simple solution. The #12 fuse on my 1985 240 wagon keeps blowing. It does not blow when I shift into reverse, and it does not blow when the A/C compressor engages. I checked both those things and it doesn't seem to be affected by the cycling of the A/C or the engagement of reverse. It does blow when I start driving in forward gears, but not immediately - usually after 2 or 3 blocks.

Any ideas on what could be causing this, and how to remedy? Would very much like to use the A/C which usually works great! Not to mention the reverse lights do come in handy when parking in the dark.

Many thanks,

Aaron
