Why wouldn't you put a piece of hose on the bracket to help from chaffing wire from vibration?

What no one knows is that behind the scenes on this video, ScannerDanner was calling me at 10 a.m. two days into my honeymoon asking me how to set up the lights and the camera 😂. And my wife was just continually making fun of him on the phone 😂. Thank you all for the kind words and support. My wife and I are very grateful for this community and the opportunities it has opened up for us as we start our life together.

Use continuity setting on your multimeter. Plug into the cold side of the fuse with the red lead and place negative lead at battery negative. Wiggle harness when you hear the beeping you know exactly where the short to ground is. Great video! Thumbs up

Mae, you were GREAT! Intermittent shorts are a pain! Sometimes they show themselves like that one when you "moved" the harness. Good Deal!

Even though the cinematography wasn’t perfect this video helps immensely. Usually something like this has to do with rodents chewing on stuff but I will check that harness and I’ll bet this 2001 has the same problem. Thank you so much.

Put a bulb in the fuse holders with a long length of wire to where you can see it. If the wires short as in this case the bulb will light,simple easy test and no fuses burnt out whilst testing!

Congrats Caleb! May, you are another camera person in the making 😉 I have a son and daughter (and grandkids). The only time I would work on their cars was if they were by my side working with me.

Well done guys! MiracleMAX

Hey SD! Just wanted to say what a HUGE help your videos have been! I've developed some awesome diagnostic skills and picked up this cheapish Launch CRP129E scanner off Amazon and was able to use it the other day to identify a bad wheel speed sensor on a 2005 Toyota Prius. I plugged up the scanner and set the data points for all 4 wheels and we went for a test drive and seen 3/4 sensors reading data and the LR reporting 0mph! It was so cool seeing that data in real time and knowing for absolute certainty that there is an issue with that sensor or the wiring! Thanks again man love the vidoes!

[@drewsdiagnostics7201]

Love the intro Paul and the way you have incorporated your daughter!

[@ScannerDanner]

Yeah, it is a little different for me with my little girl. I still feel a little uneasy showing her at all in this crazy f---ed up world we live in. But she was super excited about this and as you can tell she is really comfortable on camera 🙂

In a pinch, replace the fuse with a lightbulb if you have a short to ground. When the bulb goes out or dimes, you found the short! I love May's confidence! Love her questions!

[@ScannerDanner]

Just be careful with the light bulb test as some circuits will light a bulb and it is normal!

[@stevenkietzke5582]

Daughter did a nice job with camera Thanks for the video

[@josephwash109]

A neat trick I learned is just to substitute a test light for the fuse. If the short is active, the light will be lit and you can wiggle the harness until the light goes out to locate it. On the other hand, if the short is not active, you can wiggle the harness until the light turns on to locate the short. There may be some considerations depending on the circuit design, so it's always best to familiarize yourself with the circuit diagrams first.

[@ScannerDanner]

For sure! As some circuits will light a test light and it is normal!

[@garageadz]

I do this but with a 12v buzzer. Even if the circuit normally has a ground connection through devices you will hear changes when interacting with the harness and not have to be in line of sight to your test lamp.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Nice to meet May! (hope I spelled that correctly ...). She's got a future in the camera world, too, there - she knew a great shot when she saw it. Nice job, May! 👍😎 That was a great way of finding a short - a puff of smoke in your face! That'll get your attention! :D Back when my Silverado was nearly brand new ('07), I had a short in the right side marker / running lamps. Every time I thought I had fixed it, it would blow another fuse. Always when towing the dovetail car trailer on a busy highway, too. I got so mad I threw a jump wire in there. Well, needless to say, I found the short - a bundle of melted wires in a ball behind the right tail light assembly! Could've smoked the whole truck! Also got a nice brown patch on the fuse box cover map, under the cover where the jumper was. Melted the plastic where the fuse pins go, too! I got lucky on that one. My temper ALWAYS costs me money! Anyway, that truck is currently down due to a 2-speed transmission. Lost 3rd and 4th last Sunday on my way to visit my dad. 103k miles. They sure don't build 'em like they used to! I'm driving the 26 year old Volvo in it's place, and the wifey is still driving her 34 year old Grand Marquis with the ORIGINAL driveline (and in-tank electric fuel pump!!) with 272k miles on the clock (and counting)! I should've bought more of those Crown Vics, Towncars, and G/M's - I could've made a couple into pickups that actually last ... 😁
