'83 300SD - dead short across the battery.
I figured I'd bounce this off of you guys first before I go any further with it.
I got a dead short across my battery last Saturday night on my way home, frying my brand new battery. It was somewhat intermittent in that a couple of times on the hour-long drive, when I hit some bumps it would clear up for a split second.
I've done some tracing and troubleshooting with the multimeter and it's in between the junction under the fuse box under the hood and where it meets the back of the tumbler. I've done a little searching but I'm a bit leery about peeling back the dash still. I've only had the car for a month and a half so I'm still learning my way around it, but I'm learning fast.
Anyone got any wise ideas? Able to point me in the right direction?
