Now that's interesting. The monitor panel is completely dead. Nada. The shorted load-side wire at the monitor fuse is white/brown. I pulled the panel and disconnected the only white/brown wire that was back there. Still shorted to ground at fuse. That tells me that the short is somewhere "upstream" of the monitor panel and the sensors. Either a rubbed through wire upstream, or a faulty/shorted component that shares that circuit.
