Continuity may not be meaningful since a single bulb etc could have low resistance. Have you connected 12V to the circuit and a fuse blew?
If you actually have a short what fuse blew? Add a light bulb in series to that circuit and it will be full brigntness with a short. Then as you open downstream wiring and when the light turns off you can isoate the problem and resolve as needed.
And a wire tracer can be very useful in determine wire routing.
No fuse blew but I thought on a circuit of only lights, with no power, continuity would only be present between + and - if the positive is touching ground or touching the grounded negative.
I did just put the fuse back in and lights work, except one, Im just unsure if I should keep that circuit powered since I believe theres an issue in that circuit.
Had an electrician help me trouble shoot originally and hes the one who said to leave that fuse out until I find the short.
