Disconnect the pos bat cable and then connect a 12v light bulb between the bat post and the pos cable. If you have a short, the light will be very bright and the battery will still be happy. Play around with connections and cables until the light goes out. You have found the short when the light goes out. If something is on, clock,dome light , etc., the light will glow dimly as it should.
Happy hunting Tom
