The Converter did not go bad because of the Living room light short. The Living room light circuit is protected by that fuse you pull. DO YOU HAVE ANY FUSES BLOWN/BAD? To answer your question. The way you trace down a short for one circuit, you disconnect EACH appliance/light on that fused circuit. Then see if the short goes away. That determines if you have a appliance short oor a short in the wiring(mice possible). Now, if you have a light ON(or any appliance in that circuit ON) and you attempt to get continuity and GET continuity. That just means the circuit is complete, NOT that you have a short. When you state LEADS OFF. Are you talking about the Pos and NEG leads that connect to the Power Converter? Doug
