Checking For Short Circuits To Ground

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Saab 9-5 and 2001 Saab 9-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Make sure there is no power being supplied to the lead to be checked (e.g. by removing the relevant fuse) and that any loads have been disconnected.
  2. Set the multimeter to ohm measurement.
  3. Connect one test lead to a reliable ground and the other to the point to be checked.
  4. Carefully jiggle the wiring harness and check that the multimeter shows a constant infinite value (OL).
