Serial number L90CV63088. I am looking for assistance with an electrical issue related to my shifter. A few months ago, I replaced the micro switches on the shifter which initially resolved the problem. However, I am now facing a situation where fuse 29 (related to gear shifting) blows every time I put the vehicle in reverse. I conducted resistance checks on wire 177 (color code: green/white) from the shifter harness to pin 9 on the G connector on the circuit board, with a reading of 0.03. Further, when checking the resistance from pin 9 on the G connector to fuse holder 29, the reading was 73.3. I am unsure if this is the correct method to diagnose the issue. Could the motherboard be the root cause of the problem, or am I on the wrong track? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If you are experiencing issues with your electrical system, it's important to inspect the R11 relay and wire 177 (gn/w) for any potential issues such as bare wires or shorts to the ground. If there are no problems with the wire, the relay R11 should be the next component to investigate.
To troubleshoot the circuit board, start by disconnecting connector T. Then, use back probing to measure the resistance of each solenoid. For instance, measuring T15 against T16 will give you the resistance for S2. Repeat this process for all solenoids, aiming for a target resistance of around 22 ohms. Next, check each wire against ground; they should all show an open circuit since connector T is disconnected. If you encounter a dead short to the black (ground) wire, it can help point you towards the issue. Remember, S2 is typically associated with reverse gear, while the other solenoids work together to engage different gears. Good luck with your troubleshooting!
Thank you to sfrs4 and funwithfuel for your assistance. I will provide an update once the task is completed.
Relay 11 has been confirmed to be operating properly. When testing the continuity between terminals T15 and T16, a reading of 82.1 ohms was obtained. This result was consistent when testing between T15 and the other terminals. To clarify, the testing method involved placing one probe on T15 and the other on T16. Testing the wires for grounding yielded inconclusive results, as grounding the negative probe to the cab frame and the positive probe to each wire did not produce any readings. Another attempt was made by grounding the negative probe to pin T23 (black wire) and the positive probe to the other terminals, which resulted in a reading of 42.1 ohms. It is uncertain whether the black wire is a ground wire. Any guidance on the correct testing procedure would be appreciated. Thank you.
Answer: Answer: The issue could be related to a wiring problem or a faulty component in the gear shifting system. Conducting resistance checks and diagnosing the specific connections could help pinpoint the root cause.
Answer: Answer: Conducting resistance checks on the wiring connections from the shifter harness to the circuit board and fuse holder can help identify any potential faults in the system.
Answer: Answer: While the motherboard could potentially be the root cause of the issue, further diagnostic checks and testing would be required to confirm if it is indeed the source of the problem.
