If by meaning wire as a circuit, when turning on the circuit the fuse will blow the circuit open, or if the protection is a breaker, the breaker will trip. This is all on the conjecture that there is a return path for the current to flow. This is the main reason for ground wires on all equipment, to provide a return path for the current to flow back to the source.
Your fuse will trip
When the wire shorted it probably burned through. You should employ a qualified electrician to help you troubleshoot the problem.
a shorted out outlet can cause a backfeed on the white wire, an open circuit on the white wire with and electrical appliance plugged in to an outlet can cause the same type of backfeed
Get a multimeter and put it on the ohm setting. Touch the wire with one probe and the engine block with the other lead, if the meter reads anything but OL, it's shorted to ground.
Nothing will happen if the neutral and ground wire is shorted. The electrical code makes it mandatory that the neutral and ground are brought together at a common point within the distribution panel. On a 120/240 volt distribution system the ground wire is terminated at the point where the service neutral terminated in the distribution panel. It is usually a double lug the neutral wire connecting into one hole and the ground wire connecting into the other hole. Through this lug assembly there is a machine screw that is inserted through the lug assembly and it screws into the metallic enclosure of the distribution panel. This action bonds the metal enclosure, neutral wire and ground wire bringing the point to a common potential of zero.

Bad starter, shorted wire
it sounds like a wire is not connected or is shorted.
The fuel level sensor is shorted or a wire is shorted.
A blown fuse indicates a shorted circuit somewhere in the system. Could be a shorted power wire to ground, or a shorted componet in the system.
When the wire shorted it probably burned through. You should employ a qualified electrician to help you troubleshoot the problem.
if tac. wire is broken or shorted
If the tach wire shorted or melted.
It's an overload. It could be a shorted wire, worn out brakes or just misadjusted brakes.
There is an overcurrent situation in the circuit, could be a wire shorted to ground.
shorted a wire? knocked a wire loose?
old lights, blowen fuse, shorted wire?
Something is shorted to ground on that circuit
