The diagram is in your owners manual. If you don't have one it can be downloaded online.

If you have a manual transmission, a shorted b/u switch in the transmission can blow that fuse. Disconnect the plug and replace the fuse. If it stays ok, plug the b/u switch back in, if it blows you need to replace the switch. Not expensive and not hard to replace. Automatic is a different story.

My car is a standard shift so where is the reverse switch located on the trans mission?

Same one used in a wide variety of GM vehicles for a number of years. Just don't over torque it.

Pretty sure it's on the gear selector assembly that mounts to the side of the trans, where the shifter cable attaches. Part of the Park/neutral switch assembly.
