TYPICAL ELECTRICAL REPAIR
An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to blow or a circuit breaker to open.
SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION
^ Locate the damaged wire.
^ Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.
^ For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of the wire.
