In order to find a short in a buried wire you will need to use an electronic wire chaser. The electronic wire chaser will notify you of where the break is exactly.

How can I find a short in a wire?

To find a short in a wire, you can use a multimeter to test for continuity along the wire. Set the multimeter to the continuity setting and touch the probes to each end of the wire. If the multimeter beeps or shows a reading of zero ohms, there is a short in the wire.


Is electric resistance greater in a short wire or a long thin wire?

Resistance is the restriction of electrical flow in a component/wire/etc. If you think of a short fat wire as a short freeway and a long thin wire as a quiet country road then the answer is easy to find especially if you imagine 1 thousand cars all trying to travel the distance at once

Why does your 1996 jeep grand Cherokee Main fuse keeps blowing when you turn the key on?

The fact that it is a grand Cherokee has nothing to do with it. The fact that you have an electrical short has everything to do with it. Open the hood. Find the battery. Find the red wire from the battery. Trace the red wire and the wires leading off from it until you find the spot where you can see the insulation removed and there is bare wire. Replace that wire. Hopefully that caught it. If that did not catch it, then it will be necessary to get a volt meter and find the specific wire that has the short. If it is not is a bare wire, it may be in a broken piece of equipment. You need to find out where. Since you want to learn about your vehicle without working with another back yard mechanic like the rest of us did, that is a possible way. You have to find the short and replace the bad part.

how can I know accurately the location of a the broken section of an electrical wire is?For example if I have a wire of 10 meters long buried underground and somewhere along these 10 meters the wire is broken(short circuited), can I using only one end of the wire know where exactly that short circuit is located along those 10 meters ????There is a way to do that but I need just the principle of how does it works anybody can help please.___________________________X______________.6m 4m The best way, and safest, remove the wire and replace it. no i am not concerned about taking it out an replacing it, for example if the wire is 30km long and buried 3 meters underground, it will be very very hard job to do by taking it out but if i can know where exactly the fault is i will have to dig only at that place
