I have a 2004 V6 Automatic Tundra that blows the 10A fuse when I put the truck in reverse. I have unplugged the wiring harness under the truck below the back lights as well as my towing package and am still blowing fuses. This leads me to believe it’s the backup light switch but when I went to the parts store they said I needed a neutral safety switch. Can someone please advise which it is and where exactly it would be on the transmission because there are 4 switches on the tranny from what I see.

Found the issue...FINALLY!!! The ground wire on an after market backup sensor had frayed and was causing the short.
