Default looking for asistance on "short" topic

A while back there was a thread on the subject of tracing electrical shorts. Can anyone help me find it, or would someone like to give advice on the subject?

TIA

Dan

I have a draw on the battery somewhere that pulls it down slowly. I don't drive the corvette enough to keep it charged. The battery tests good as does the alternator. I remember a thread not too long ago that walked througth the steps on how to search for a short. I looked back but can't seem to find it. It mentioned how to check each individual circuit in the car.

As always, thanks for your advice.

Dan

Thanks, Steel Blue. That gave me lots of ideas and, more importantly, a technical knowledge of how to proceed.

Now I have work to do.......... :rolleyes:
