Take a good look at those fuse holders. I have a NHlx865 that had random electrical glitches that I chased for years. On day my knuckle brushed across the 6 gang fuse holder and I heard a solenoid rattle. I wiggled the fuses, and 3 fuses were loose in the socket. I bent the clips to tighten them back up but upon inspection the fuse holder was a piece of junk. Crimped connections on non-stripped wires with small spikes into the wire. The clips aren't spring steel.
Those gang type fuse holders can be replaced with better fuse holders with screw connections and a plastic cover for not much money.
I installed a 10-gang fuse holder and has a few spare openings for future options. No more gremlins!
I didn't suspect my fuse holder for problems and should have. They are not well made like a lot of the connections on modern wiring harnesses. Why they skimp on wiring harnesses is beyond common sense.
His won't find your short circuit but just a place to look at your connections.
