This is a Ford Tractor 1210 diesel, circa 1985 but should be generic. What I'm getting at is that the wiring is pretty basic. I have a fairly major short from the positive of the battery to the ground. This is without the battery attached. I've pulled the harness,the switches, the alternator, the regulator and the starter. I had the altermnator, starter and regulator checked, (needed a rebuilt alternator, probably fried it with the short). I'm now getting ready to reassemble it after I check the harness for shorts but that's just wires. Can anybody suggest anything else that might cause a short. I have the lights disconnected. I can't think of anything else electrical. I hope I covered all the bases. Thanks for any thoughts.
