Thank you! This helps, my Miata’s cooling fan & AD fan run on the same ground, it has been wire tucked previously & trying to get my ac compressor to engage but 20a AD fan fuse blows instantly. Guess it’s time to unwrap the harness & see how good of job was done & hopefully find an exposed wire.

so basically a short to ground is when a wire touches another wire and causes the circuit to blow ? or is it when the amperage in one wire goes to another one causing it to be no amperage or too much on one wire? it’s a good visual just want to make sure

I have a 2011 traverse and I keep blowing fuses. I have no window power,No right turn signal and key gets stuck in ignition as well as no backup camera. I have been to other forums and replaced the 15amp bck/stop fuse under the glove box and then everything works fine (for a few hours/days). I’ve gone through 6-8 fuses in the last 2 weeks or so and idk what the problem is. It’s not okay to just replacing fuses! Any ideas/help would really be appreciated! I think I have a short circuit! How do I check and where/what do I check?

Thanks for the visual explaination. My '81 Passat seems to have short circuit. It's little more complicated though Fuse 7, which is the Clock, Cigarette Lighter and Inside lights keeps blowing, this started right after I used the back windshield wipers+ washer fluid which are on fuse 11 (and 30). Both stopped working too, the fuse seems fine So there should be no Connection between Fuse 7 and 11, Maybe the wires hit each other and cause a short? Wouldn't both Fuses blow if something like that happened? Maybe you can help me, I am thankful of any help

what if the fuse is on the negative wire and you touch the wrench with the positive? i assume the fuse will still blow? or will the bulb blow?

lets take the light out of the equation. Say i relocate my 12v battery to my trunk and run a + cable to a junction block in the engine compartment. I attach a 200A fuse to the chassis in the trunk and the negative battery cable to the other end of the fuse. If my + cable were to have a short to the chassis would it blow that fuse on the negative battery cable? I might have to test this myself as the internet seems split on this scenario.

Very Good Visual Video. I'm A Visual Learner and ever since I'm Hearing About Short to Ground/Short to Whatever, this is the Best Way I can Imagine it. Thanks A Milli.... Anyhow, I Have A 2006 Dodge Magnum 5.7. I Was Driving Along, Made A U-Turn the Car Cut off. And would never start. After like 5hrs later Goin though everything Found that I have A 20Amp Fuse Which Controls the Ignition Coils and Injectors that Keeps Blowing As Soon As soon as I Turn on Ignition. Not Really Sure How to Go About Finding it, Since it happens when I turn the Key... ? Can you give Any Help please? Thanks Again.

A client complained that when he was on motion is airbag shot. Eventually, he noticed that the smoke was emanating from the engine bay. Hence, he pop-up the hood and saw that the smoke was coming from the ABS module. He called a mechanic to unplug the ABS module connector. Afterward, the connector was connected back. Henceforth, he has noticed that his steering is stiffer to steer. Additionally, he said : "the car isn't moving smoothly as before." Yesterday, he called and said even the headlight and other lights aren't working again in the car. The check light appears first, brake light second then finally the P/S light appears. They lights don't come out at once. It's a 2010 Toyota Corolla Le. Please how do I fix the problem?
