Testing For A Short To Ground

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse.

2. Connect a test light or a voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse.

3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp.

4. If the voltmeter registers voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
