OK, I'm sure I'm missing something here,but I figured I'd ask.
My Jeep had a short circuit and blowsa fuse if I turn on the lights.
So I remove all bulbs on the circuitand try again. =C2=A0Blown fuse.
I take some other items off the circuitand try again, blown fuse.
Moving around and trying different things,blowing fuses all around.
I found the short, fixed it and all is well.
My question is, is there a way to dothis without having to blow fuses? =C2=
=A0I'm guessing a meter should show0ohm resistance if there is still a shor=
t, but I was not getting a opencircuit.
Any ideas so I don't have to go througha hand full of fuses next time?
Thanks.
