Why do your reverse lights on your 2001 caravan sport dont work and dont have electricity after you replaced the fuse?

If the fuse was "blown" then that would indicate a short circuit. If the fuse wasn't blown that would indicate an open circuit.
The most likely cause in either event is a broken wire. The 2nd most likely reason is the switch on the column that engages when the lever is in the reverse position.
I would start by trying to trace the wire starting at the bulb and working forward. You'll likely find the wire is broken very near where it goes into the mount.
