My 85 GT has started blowing #5 fuse with the reverse light connector on the switch, but not when disconnected. With the switch connected, the fuse will blow only when I take it out of reverse. Putting the transmission in reverse will light up the reverse lights, but as soon as I shift out of reverse, the fuse pops. I checked the wiring, it looks fine. I ohmed the two wires on the switch. The ground side has maybe 3 ohms, the white wire side was showing 73 ohms. I tested the switch, it only has continuity when reverse is engaged. Could it be the switch shorting out when shifting out of reverse?
