Grab a test light, find your break in the wire or where it grounds out and stop blowing lights  ;)

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

Sorry man.  I worked as a marine mechanic on a crusty old fleet of rental boats for several years and you quickly learn why people call the test light your best friend!

Thats why my test light has a 6' lead on it.  And a heavy duty spring clamp on it.
Electrical is a tricky area to learn especially if you don't know what your doing.

In the Chilton's/Haynes section of your parts store there should be a electrical manual, right by one for Toyotas!
