With A Short Finder

Finding Short With Short Finder:

1. Remove the blown fuse leaving the battery connected.
2. Connect the short finder across the fuse terminals.
3. Close all switches in series with the circuit you are troubleshooting.
4. Operate the short finder. The short finder will pulse current to the short. This creates a pulsing magnetic field surrounding the circuit wiring between the fuse block and the short.
5. Beginning at the fuse block, slowly move the short finder meter along the circuit wiring. The meter will show current pulses through sheet metal and body trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse block and the short, the needle will move with each current pulse. When you have moved the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Examine the wiring in that area for the short to ground.
