FOLLOWING AND LOCATING SHORT CIRCUITS

In most cases a short circuit will appear by a fuse or a fusible link blow-
ing or a protection device tripping (i.e., a circuit breaker). Here is the
best place to begin the search.
Remove the blown fuse from the fuse box.
Use the Power Probe tip to energize each of both contacts in the fuse
box. The side which trips the Power Probe circuit breaker is the shorted
circuit. Take note of this wire identification code or color. Follow the wire
as far as you can along the wiring harness, for instance if you are fol-
lowing a short in the brake light circuit you may know that the wire must
pass though the wiring harness at the door sill. Locate the color-coded
wire in the harness and expose it. Probe through the insulation of the
wire with the Power Probe tip and depress the power switch forward to
energize the wire. If the Power Probe circuit breaker tripped you have
verified the shorted wire. Cut the wire and energize each end with the
Power Probe tip. The wire which trips the Power Probe circuit breaker
again will lead you to the shorted area. Follow the wire in the shorted
direction and repeat this process until the short is located.
