[wiswind]

I would still replace the blown fues in the engine compartment.....after finding out what circuit(s) that fuse protects......and then see if the fuse blows again.
Some of the fuses protect more than 1 item....and what blew it last time might not be the same thing this time.....

A common failure item on the transmission is the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS).....also called Neutral Safety switch.
I remember reading a couple of posts on here about disconnecting the electrical connector on the TRS....and seeing if it will shift through the gears......and if it does, then it is most likely the TRS.
You can do a search in this forum to find a post by the person(s) who have experience doing it personally......as I have not done the test myself......

Not shifting higher than 2nd gear is "limp mode".
