Stranded mid intersection... Progress report

[GAS-A-LOT!]

Finally got the readings... So it looks like the issue is on the left connector no? Anyone know that those readings mean?

They don't mean much other than the obvious. 3.3mV is likely just cross talk between wires. It could be shorted to something that is poorly connected to ground. If you had a more sensitive volt meter it may have read higher. Do the continuity testing I mentioned in my last post with the DVM connected to that connector in the fuse block.

Tape over the ends of any loose/cut wires you can't figure out where they go. Note their colors, base color and stripe color. You may also have a intermittent short in one of the wires off that fuse. You can use the wire colors to hopefully figure out which wire it is in the wiring diagram. The wiring diagram will have a key for the color designations. B-W would be a black wire with a white stripe. Note blue is not B, i think it is L. That is why you use the color key.

When looking for intermittent shorts, I'll put the DVM into continuity mode and attach one lead to the circuit that is shorting, and the other lead to the frame. They I'll grab bundles of wires and wiggle them. If I hear a beep then I'm getting close. This doesn't always work.

IT'S ON SUKAZ!!! THEM GREMLINS AIN'T NOTHING...
Thanks Bogo, in taking your advice... I started looking for loose ends to tape up and found....
THIS!

It had sheared off over time and was making ground contact so I ran the Engine and grounded it and Voilah! The fuse was blown....

And the is like "NOW YOU CAN TAKE ME TO DINNER"... Well, thats the least I could do for her... After all, she helped me push it out of the intersection...


Thanks to all the fellow mudders who helped trouble shoot... It's just that the ADD doesn't help...
Cheers.
