Keep blowing passenger compartment fuse #6, which is for MLPS switch, backup lights and speed control and is 15amps.

When this fuse blows, the a/c quits blowing cold air as well and the auto door lock quits working when the car is placed in gear and starts moving.

No problems with power steering, but have noticed that the speed control when working does not allow engine braking on steep hills (ie car set at cruise 60mph, car coasts over 70mph on steep hills).

Transmission Range Sensor replacement?

Replaced the Transmission Range Sensor, aka Neutral Safety Switch. Still blowing the #6 15A fuse.

Symptoms are: The fuse blows whenever the blower fan for climate control is turned on anthing besides VENT. A/C blows the fuse, heat/cool for floorboard and windshield defroster blows the fuse. Turning on VENT, doesn't happen. Blower fan speed not an issue. Driving or parked w/ engine running, doesn't matter. Whenever I turn on anything besides VENT the fuse blows.

Where do I start to fix this?

Thanks.
