Testing For A Short To Ground

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all components involved with the fuse.
  2. Connect a test light or a voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse.
  3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp.
  4. If the voltmeter registers voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
