If you are having a problem with the front wiper fuse blowing on your NG900 check your backup light switch located on the tranny (drivers side located just about under the master cylinder). Remove the connection and see if the fuse still blows...if it does thats the culprit. I thought I'd share this because it took the whole day for me to track it down and it doesn't seem very obvious untill you check the wiring diagrams (the wipers share the same juice as the back up lights...go figure?) I didn't even know my back up lights were down...I discovered the wipers were down in a rainstorm

There are about three or four switches by the tranny, could you tell me which one is the one connected to the back up light? and also how do you fix it?

Thanks

Mine keeps blowing as well. How do you fix if this is the problem?

Back up (Reversing) lights:

A brown/black lead is used from the 20 amp fuse to the transmission switch and from that a white(manual transmission) or white/black (Auto-trans) to the B/U light... ..
There may be a method of repair of this costly switch - if so, thank GM..
VW uses a similar switch, $$$, but I used a pre-owned one as the replacement..
And, I believe this is combined with the neutral switch...
