Take a gander at the wiring harness for the OD. Loosen up the crossmember bolts and drop the tranny down every so slightly. This should give you plenty space to check out the condition of the wiring harness for the OD and the Reverse Lights (might as well take a look at those too since your up there). Also pull up the shifter boot and look at the wires coming from the switch that go to the transmission. These wires rub against the tranny tunnel and can short out to ground which maybe the cause to your fuses blowing so much. I just re-built the entire OD & Reverse Light harnesses for the M46 I'm putting in my 264GL in place of the BW55. A fellow brickhead on the BB told me that you can get some bullet type connectors (blue) at WALMART. I must say that the connectors worked fairly well (with very little modification). If you need some pictures or hints on how I re-did the wiring harness e-mail me and I will be more than happy to share that info with you. Have a HAPPY & SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON!!!
