check the reverse light wire is not catching on your prop mate, if this happens, the plastic coating can get worn away down to the wires, when this happens it shorts out.
happened on mine and it blew fuse 11 (iirc)... i lost alsorts of dials.

the reverse light wire is supposed to be clipped to the gear linkage yoke to stop it hanging down and connects to the side of the gearbox and the other end comes through the hole where the shifter sits, to a plug

something to check
