Default I keep blowing a fuse

After the fuse blows I get a p0120, po801, po803 dtcs. These are the MAF, 1-4 switch, and the reverse solenoid. I can replace the fuse and it works fine for a while and then it blows. I have checked fittings and amd not sure where I am shorting at. Any suggestions?

sounds like something is shorting out. My ENG SES fuse kept blowing and it turned out the passenger front o2 was rubbing on the exhaust, shorting it out. Is this the fuse you keep blowing? I know it has to do with the reverse solenoid.

I keep blowing the Eng Sen fuse that is on the fuse panel in the engine bay . It is the 20A fuse.

Somehing id def. rubbing/cut/burnt.I had the same thing awhile ago.One of my o2 wires had a little slit in it from the heat shield.Every once in a while the wire would hit where it was rubbing and pop that fuse.

im more than positve that the ENG SEN fuse controls the maf and skip shift and reverse solenoid. This same thing has happened to me on both my cars.
