<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">But is this safe? Couldn't it
melt wires if there is a short?</font>

<br><font size=3 face="Arial">The trick I learned is to replace the fuse
with a headlight. The short will cause the headlight to glow full
bright. Once the short is cleared the other lights will illuminate
dimmly as will your fuse replacement and now it is safe to reinstall the
fuse.</font>

My Jeep had a short circuit and blows a fuse if I turn on the lights.</font><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">

So I remove all bulbs on the circuit and try again. Blown fuse.</font><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">

I take some other items off the circuit and try again, blown fuse.</font><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">

I found the short, fixed it and all is well.</font><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">

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.</font><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">

Any ideas so I don't have to go through a hand full of fuses next time?</font><font size=2 color=#2f2f2f face="Arial">
