all you can really do is trace wires that are connected to that circuit, and find teh short...

how do i do that... hmm

shall i start from the lights to the fuse box... or should i go from the fuse box to the lights

also what causes a "short"?/

wires being crossed, power wires touching bare metal or other wires or a ground (metal), etc.

i'd start with the lights and go back.

so um yeah he has to take the fenders off and go through the wires!!
