*what does this fuse do?*

does anyone know EXACTLY what the fuse named "BACKUP" does on our cars??? i think its located under our dash or something. i'm trying to figure out because this fuse is causing a drain on my battery.

When I blew that fuse once, my keyless entry stopped working. Once I replaced it it worked again. Hope this helps!

Have you checked out your manual? It gives some info on fuses in your car.

The back up fuse when blown, or removed (in my case) will cause your light/key reminder to stop buzzing, it will cause your gauges to flutter when you roll the ignition, and a few other things if I am not mistaken.

I think it's best to talk to a tech at your dealer. I know for sure that one use is for keyless entry, but honestly I do not know what else it is hooked up to.
