Very good lesson, thank you. One note about the use of the word “short”. In trade school 60 years ago they explained that there are three terms for electrical problems. Short, open and ground. Short- is copper to copper. Open- is copper to nothing. Ground - is copper to steel. With your situation you did not know if you had a short or grounded circuit, until you found the problem.

good to see a systematic approach. Some thing I have always done is not to use a fuse in the circuit at all. I use a headlamp bulb 55 watt or greater in place of the fuse. The bulb glows bright when high current is flowing in the circuit and dimly when low current is flowing. The load of the bulb protects the circuit. I wiggle all the wiring in the circuit first and more often than not the bulb changes how bright it is glowing when wires are wiggled near the cause of the short..

I worked for over 4 decades on passenger elevators and I often ran into shorts to ground. Elevator fuses are also expensive. So I use to strip the insulation off the #18 wire and use one strand as a temporary fuse. The #18 wire strand would not blow if the ground was cleared. However, it would pop if the ground was still there. Most elevators use # 18 multi conductor cables to wire most of the elevator. I enjoyed your process. It kinda brought back old memories.

When I was an apprentice I worked with a tech who had that gauge type short finder. Once in a while, a problem car could try to ruin his day.. He had to request the tool truck salesman find that tool for him. It was found. When I saw it being used, I couldn't figure why no truck that came to us had that available. I asked one salesman toolman I knew well , why is that? He said, "so we can get you to go to more classes and buy everything else first. It's better to have all of it and the knowledge you gain. Then, once you are qualified, it's a time and trouble saver if you can get it, but you have to know and ask." He had a few cars he solved in short order, so to speak. Our boss said, hey if you do that with that tool, we don't make as much on time required to find the issue. The tech laughed and said, why do you think I still have all my hair, and you guys are pulling yours out? Hahaha.
