MT right? In this case, a blown fuse usually means that the wiring harness has 
been moved and is laying against the axle shaft on the right side of the 
transmission. This has probably worn thru the insulation somewhere, eventually 
shorting out and blowing the fuse. It's important to get this fixed right, 
because this usually goes hand in hand with wearing thru the CV joint boot 
there and ruining the CV joint.
