STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1.
Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse.
2.
Connect a test light or a voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse.
3.
Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp.
4.
If the voltmeter registers voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
