1993 Ford Explorer Malfunction - Electrical & Lighting Systems
Question: good day I'm new to this site but am verry hopefull.
#1) the problem i'm experiencing is every time I put my 1993 explorer (240, 000 km/150, 000 Mi)in reverse I blow the 15 amp fuse (# 5 on the interior fuse cover, #13 in my haynes maintenance manual) this fuse controls my left and right turn signals as well as the reverse light's and rear window defoger. when i replace the fuse my turn signals and rear window defoger work until i shift transmission to reverse. If I didn't have to back up from time to time there wouldn't be a problem!
I realise there is possibly a short to ground some where in the reverse switch or wiring. I've isolated the reverse lights from this senario by unpluging the reverse lights. this has made no change to my problem. I have a haynes?(I believe, No cover left)maintenance manual that has less than desirable electrical schematics, but it shows several plugs (i think) and a (starter/back up lamp switch)I checked this with a ford parts department and they told me this is a (neutral, start switch) located on the transmission.
My manual shows this as well with the same name as they said. just not sure if were talking about the same part. I've also traced my wiring(removed interior trim) to follow the leads to to under the dash, (didnt see any visual deteration to any wires), I also removed the trim from the stearing collum, don't see the black/pink lead on the collum switch cluster. all sugestions will be greately appreaciated.
#2) For the last couple months or so I've been experiencing some hisitation in acceleration around the 50 mph/80 km zone when switching to O/D "I think" on acceleration, not quite sure how to explain but it makes a "PUK" noise, it may do this two to four times at this range. Lately, I've also been starting to notice this happen "once" from time to time at lower speeds on acceleration suspect fuel pump, filter or pos tranny slipping? fuel pump rebuilt two years ago. original tranny no other tranney problems(Knocking on wood)

Technican: Hi;
Sounds like your reverse swictch is shorted out. It helps if I knew what tranny it is.Thanks.
Owner: sorry about that its a 4.0 ltr automatic. thats what i suspected but where is this switch located?
Technican: Hi:
Your switch will be located on drivers side where the linkage comes in. It will look like a silver or gray box. On this model it does have adjustment. But it sounds like it either needs replacing or the wiring harnees to it might be shorted out. Sorry about the delay. . Here's How To Get Guaranteed Solutions In Minutes
