That’s a tough one. When a fuse blows, it is usually means something in the circuit is shorting out. You likely need to get under the dash and shart following wires from the steering column to the fuseblock, and through the firewall. Was there any damage to the vehicle (accident or flooding)? Electrical problems are a pain....

OK. That makes sense. I would check the wiring in and down the steering column and to the firewall. If the column shifter is a little loose the reverse position may be shorting out a wire on the harness. Vehicles that have been rebuilt are not always as good as new. Again, difficult to tell without looking at it. Blown fuse equals positive wire getting grounded (shorted out).
