fuse keeps blowing...

ok so first after my automatic to manual swap my speedo stop working, i put the cable in and everything and it just doesnt work.

second the other day i was letting my car warm up and i notice my rpms werent going up or down and also all the other gauges werent working. so i changed the fuse.
later that day i was driving the car and i got on it hard and the fuse blew again.

wtf is happening.

You don't have the reverse switch wires hooked up correctly and they are shorting out.

The reverse switch uses the meter fuse for power.
