can anyone help me with this.

Welcome.

Hi.

So you replace the fuse and guess what, the next time you select reverse the fuse blows.

This happened to me in my first few weeks of ownership, and I also could not see how to remove the switch, with out lowering the box, so I pulled the connectors and wired in a illuminated dash switch and new cable to a new light unit rather than the candle powered rear pillar one.
