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.
