Hi All,

I am trying to find a open or short circuit that is in a harness with other wires. Does anyone have any suggestions how to find this open or short-circuit? http://evforum.net/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif

I am open to the idea of getting a short-circuit-finder. Though I am not sure what features I should look for if I decide to get one. Does anyone have any suggestions?

a) Does anyone know if these work well?

b) What features should I look for If I get one?

c) Do you have any other advice on a short circuit finder? type, manufacturer, model etc

Below is a link to a site that uses a short circuit finder to find a short circuit, and has information on using one: ttp://inliners.org/tech/tech6.html

Below is a link to a site that tells about how a tone generater is used to find a short circuit, in a home environment (I think this is how most short circuit finders work): http://askville.amazon.com/tone-gene...uestId=5912724 (http://askville.amazon.com/tone-generator-locate-short-circuit-electrical/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=5912724)

Thank-you in advnce,
