Short circuit

To test the circuit for a short circuit, first disconnect the load circuit (load - these are elements of electrical equipment that consume energy, such as light bulbs, motors, heating elements, etc.).

Remove the appropriate circuit fuse and connect a test lamp or a voltmeter to the terminals of the fuse.

Apply power to the circuit. Do not forget that some chains pressure is present only if you turn the key in the ignition lock in certain position.

If pressure is present (about what the lighted up will testify control light or voltmeter indications), it means that the circuit is shorted.

If voltage is not present, but the fuse still blows when connecting the load elements, then faulty any of these elements.
