I just replaced my hazard, turn signal sw arm on the steering column. all my lights (hazard, turn, ) work except that when I put the vehicle in reverse I blow the turn/ back-up 20amp fuse. Turning on the turn signals does not blow the fuse just when putting the truck in reverse

Hi:
Make sure the sockets are good and nothing is melted in them. If they are good, the only thing you can do is follow the wiring and check for broken or damaged wiring.

Let me know if you have other questions.
