Also, actually remove the fuse and check it, or measure its continuity.
In my experience the "yellow" for no signal looks very red. If it turns green when you set it to forward and red (generally a slightly different red, although I don't think I could say which is which out of context) when you set it to reverse then you're fine.

It sounds like the spike is operating correctly.
