you can do it with a meter but especially go buy a circuit breaker of the 
proper amperage, instead of more fuses
keep backing up until you find your short
 
put all your fuses back in the proper slots when you finish !

OK, I'm sure I'm missing something here, but I figured 
I'd ask. 

My Jeep had a short circuit and blows a fuse if I turn on the lights. 

So I remove all bulbs on the circuit and try again.  Blown fuse. 

I take some other items off the circuit and try again, blown fuse. 

Moving around and trying different things, blowing fuses all around. 

I found the short, fixed it and all is well. 

My question is, is there a way to do this without having to blow fuses?  I'm 
guessing a meter should show 0ohm resistance if there is still a short, but I 
was not getting a open circuit. 

Any ideas so I don't have to go through a hand full of fuses next time? 

Thanks.
