Way To Find The Causes Of Shorts In A Car, Pickup Or Tractor

Way To Find The Causes Of Shorts In A Car, Pickup Or Tractor FARM HOME Cars 27-5-36 Karl Rosendahl, Spring Grove, Minn.: "I came up with a simple way to find the causes of shorts in a car, pickup or tractor. I solder a wire to each end of a blown fuse and then connect a headlight bulb to the wire. Then I plug the blown fuse into each fuse socket. The bulb will shine brightly if there's a short in a circuit. Then I disconnect the load or connectors one at a time until the bulb either glows dim or goes out. Be sure to use headlight bulbs with the same voltage rating as the system you're testing."
