short

There's a cute way to detect shorts. I haven't done it in a while, but I remember having the same problem with the '79 SC. It takes a continuity light with the negative lead clamped (vise grips) to the negative post of the battery (negative battery terminal needs to be disconnected). I believe you then touch the positive lead of the light to the different fuse outlets. If the light comes on or stays off (I don't remember which) you have a short in that circuit. Then you go through the circuit and try to find the problem. As I remember there were several, the window on the passenger side was one. Someone help me out here, I may have the hook up wrong....... I do remember it takes a while but it worked.
