Moose, for headlights & other high power circuits, replace the fuse with a h=
eadlight bulb. If there is a short it will light to full brightness. For low=
er current circuits, use a lamp that is lower draw than the fuse. You could h=
ave used a smaller bulb on your headlight diagnosis if you disconnected the h=
eadlights.=20

=EF=BB=BFOK, I'm sure I'm missing something here, but I figured I'd ask.
My Jeep had a short circuit and blows a fuse if I turn on the lights.
So I remove all bulbs on the circuit and try again. Blown fuse.
I take some other items off the circuit and 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 do this without having to blow fuses? I'm=
guessing a meter should show 0ohm resistance if there is still a short, but=
I was not getting a open circuit.
Any ideas so I don't have to go through a hand full of fuses next time?
Thanks.
