wow... never hear of that one.

i dont know of any sensors that would short out when you put it in 1st gear.

what fuse is blowing?

i would guess that the linkage in the console or the linkage out in the engine bay is pushing two wires together, and they are shorting.

I had something similar happen to me and it started to blew fuse so often I had to have some spare fuse with me. I bump up the fuse rating by 5 more amp and it never blew after that. I did a search on the forum and that is the advise I got.
