Metro LSI Blowing Fuse

[coynee]

I am also having a problem with my 97 geo metro lsi. when i put it in drive it starts off in 3rd gear. I have to manually shift it through the gears. the turn signal lights stopped working when i developed the shifting problem, hence i believe they are related. i have no problem getting out of park because i disabled that shifter solenoid a while back.

I checked every fuse i could find and none appear to be blown, but i have not found any that are labled "brake" "back up light" "turn signal" or "rear", which have mentioned in the posts i have found.

Where would the fuse be located, and what exactly is it labled?

Under the dashboard, just above your left foot.

You might want to check the wire bundle leading to the Neutral Safety Switch about one inch from the connection plug there is a wrap around style wire clamp on top of the transmission. I removed the wire bundle from the clamp and found three chafed wires on the lower side of the bundle. After cleaning the oil and dirt from the wires, I packed them with a 50/50 mixture of corn starch and silicone caulking. It would have been too difficult to try and tape the individual wires. I read that this is a common area for the wire bundle to chafe and short. After replacing the fuse everything was back to normal function.
