If you have a voltage-ohm meter, you can set it to ohms and probe both of the socket contacts with one side while grounding the meter's other wire. If you get a reading of 0 at either electric contact, then that's your failed side. Track it down by cutting the wire off of the socket and checking just the wire again. If you still get a reading of 0, then the wire is shorted somewhere between the socket and the fuse box.
What great advice for the novice wiring person. Even I can do this, and I'm basically l:cheers:ost when it comes to how electricity functions. If FABO had a forum for tips, and tricks, advice like this would be priceless. Thanks.
