Basic idea is to run current through the circuit but limit heat dissipation;
then use something to detect the current. JZ Witless used to sell a flasher
thing that would replace the fuse, and a moving vane meter that was
sensitive to magnetic fields. I've done something similar using an old
headlight bulb to limit the current, and a boy scout magnetic compass to
detect the magnetic field.

You can pick up a toner & probe for just about $50 if you shop around ...
Looks like JCW still has the short detector :

or if that doesn't work, go to
http://www.jcwhitney.com
and search for "short circuit finder".
