its rarely easy without diagrams but the only advice i can give is either to start at the power source (battery) and follow it to the faulty device until you find the short somewhere in between the two or sometimes its easier to fallow the fault from the devise back to the power source this might sound over simplistic but the fault has to be between the two points power---------------------device but always remember it could be a negative(earth)problem as easily as a positive power problem hope you can find the fault
