If one of the electrical devices in your car does not work correctly or is completely out of order, then, most likely, a short circuit has appeared somewhere, which prevents the delivery of a signal to this device. Read the instruction manual for your car, there you can find the answer to the question of how to find a short circuit in a car. Study the wiring diagram of your car carefully. Ring the wires that fit to it and find the broken device on it,. Also check for any exposed wires that touch the car body. If there are any, take and insulate them.

To find a breakdown, check all the components that are part of the car's electrical network: from the rear and headlights to the ground relay (blocking). Check all contacts and wiring. If you find a faulty contact, take a soldering iron and restore its integrity so that it passes the electric current well.
