II-GM6 Troubleshooting
Finding short circuits
Shorts occur between the power(positive) and ground(negative) sides of a circuit.
Therefore, finding a shdit circuit requires determining how the circuit is routed.

0 Fuse melts. Finding short circuit
0
Test lamp 1. Remove the fuse and
main fuse of the circurt.
2. Disconnect all connectors
of electrical components
in the circuit.
3. Attach a voltmeter or test
lamp to the fuse box and
reconnect each
connector, beginning
nearest the power
source.
4. Check the voltmeter or
see if the test lamp lights
as the connectors are
connected. Finding short circuit
