Quoted from Cheddar:If you take out all the bulbs in that section you can test continuity from tab to tab. If you get it then one of the sockets is shorted to itself.
If that doesn't happen test each tab to ground. If you have continuity there then one of the tabs is shorted to ground.
Once you find there is a short you can go halfway down the chain and unsolder the lugs and test both side. Keep doing this until you have it isolated to a socket.
Usually somewhere in this process it jumps out
Thanks. When you say 'test continuity from tab to tab', what exactly do you mean? Thanks

ARG!!!!
I pulled all bulbs on the right side of the PF and the fuse is still blowing...What the heck am I missing here?
Quoted from Cheddar:you've got a short in a socket (or somewhere else) you need to follow the steps above to isolate it
So do you mean test each socket as if it were a fuse? I just havent done it before. thanks/sorry
