How short is a shortcircuit?

A short circuit is so short that all the current in the entire network prefers to pass through it! Actually, whenever in a network/circuit there are two parallel paths for the current to flow, the current chooses the path of least impedance. As such, a circuit with no impedance of any sort is called a short circuit cuz the entire current passes through it.

More than likely there is a short in your electrical circuit either between the headlights and your switch or in your Headlights fuse. Check under the bonnet near the battery for a fusebox then check for the Headlights or Headlamps fuse then check to see if the fuse has been blown (the fuse will be in a seethrough casing and the circuit will be separated). Another good tool to get for yourself is a simple voltmeter, you should be able to find a voltmeter for about 10 to 30 euros and then read the instructions. When checking for automotive circuits set your voltmeter for DC voltage then place your positive probe on one part of the circuit and your negative probe on another part and note the reading. If the reading fails to read toward normal voltage (12-14VDC) then you have identified the shortcircuit and may be able to replace the shortcircuit or inform your mechanic or dealership or agency of your problem.

The question is really "big". There are hundreds of malfunction that can stop the engine. Coud be the gas pump, the battery, or the lack of pressure in the fuel line, or the step by step device, or the fuel filter or the electronic system or some shortcircuit in the start key.
