    Working on a '98 GP GT, anytime I shift into reverse I blow the backup lamp fuse.
    I was originally thinking short but it has been suggested that it might be a bad ground.
    Does anyone know where this systems ground is?
    And as I'm horrible with electrical problems if anyone has other*opinions/options/suggestions I'm all ears.

    Thanks in advance.

    Also check the lights and make sure you don't have corrosion building up between the points, if they have anything connect them it can cause a short and the fuse to blow. Just an easy pull the bulbs and inspect the socket check over. Often simple things tend to be the culprit.
