Pull the fuse, put a VOM on the load side to ground, you will probably peg the meter (whoops! my decades of using Simpsons and Tripletts is showing). Disconnect each of the items/locations served by that fuse (you should know that as those are the ones dead). When the meter drops to zero (infinity) you've disconnected the problem. If none of them clear it time to regroup and get serious. |
With a digital meter "0" ohms indicates a short circuit. A high ohms reading indicates a good circuit.
