Divide and Conquer. Get out your 12 V test light, and hook it up accross
the fuse terminals (no fuse or wire). If there is that good a short,
the fuse should light. Pull one wire at a time from the circuit. (At or
near the fuse box, if you can) When the light goes off, you have the devil.
You can then proceed to check the individual circuits/devices run off
that wire.
