Short Test Using Voltmeter:

Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load. Connect the voltmeter leads to the fuse terminals. The positive lead should be connected to the terminal closest to the power source.

Starting near the POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX, move the wire harness back and forth and watch the voltmeter reading. If the voltmeter registers a reading, there is a short to ground in the wiring. Somewhere in the area of the harness being moved, the wire insulation is worn away and the circuit is grounding.
