Short Test Using Ohmmeter:

Disconnect the battery. Adjust the ohmmeter to read zero while holding the leads together. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load. Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to the fuse terminal that is closest to the load. Connect the other lead to a known good ground.

Starting near the POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX, move the wire harness back and forth and watch the ohmmeter reading. Low or no resistance indicates a short to ground in the wiring. Infinitely high resistance indicates no short.
